Charles Ellicott Commentary Joshua 5:11

"And they did eat of the produce of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes and parched grain, in the selfsame day." — Joshua 5:11 (ASV)

They did eat of the old corn. — The word occurs only in Joshua 5:12. It need not have been last year’s corn; in fact, it seems to have been the produce of this very harvest. It seems to mean “that which was brought to them,” and was “the fruit” or “produce” of the land of Canaan, probably brought to the camp for sale.
