Charles Ellicott Commentary Joshua 5:10

"And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho." — Joshua 5:10 (ASV)

The Passover. —This is the third Passover in Israel’s history:

1. The first, under Moses, was in Egypt when the Lord delivered them.
2. The second, under Moses, was at Sinai when He had brought them unto Himself.
3. The third is on the other side of the Jordan under Joshua.

Two belong to the Exodus, or going out; one to the Eisodus, or coming in. Compare Luke 22:16: I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

Observe the connection between the Passover and circumcision. The law in Exodus 12:48 is, no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. Hence, while they wandered in the wilderness, this uncircumcised generation could not keep the Passover.
