God's Provision Changes
Commentators like Matthew Henry and John Calvin highlight a key lesson: the manna ceased the very day Israel could eat from the land. This teaches that God provides supernaturally when necessary, but we should not expect miracles when ordinary means are available. His provision perfectly transitions from the miraculous to the natural, always meeting the needs of His people.
