As the Israelites entered the Promised Land, a significant change occurred in their daily lives. For forty years, they had relied on manna, a miraculous food provided by God, to sustain them in the desert. The cessation of manna marked the end of their wilderness journey and the beginning of a new era in Canaan. This transition was not just about physical sustenance but also about spiritual growth and maturity. By eating the produce of the land, the Israelites were stepping into the fulfillment of God's promise, learning to trust Him in a new way. The land of Canaan, rich and fertile, was a tangible sign of God's faithfulness and provision. This change required the Israelites to adapt, to work the land, and to trust in God's ongoing provision through the natural resources He had given them. It was a reminder that while God's methods may change, His care and provision remain constant. This moment in their history underscores the importance of trusting in God's plans and being open to new ways He may choose to provide.
The manna stopped the day after they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate the produce of Canaan.
Joshua 5:12
