Reading from Joshua Chapters 4 and 5

The first Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread in the Promised Land.

The children of Israel crossed the Jordan and entered the promised land at the city of Gilgal on 1m 10d.
Then, they kept the Passover on 1m 14d, and had their first-fruits of the land the following day 1m 15d, eating unleavened cakes and dry grain. From that day onwards, manna stopped appearing on the ground.

Joshua 4:19 - 20 BBE
So on the tenth day of the first month the people came up out of Jordan, and put up their tents in Gilgal, on the east side of Jericho.
And the twelve stones which they took out of Jordan, Joshua put up in Gilgal.

Joshua 5:10 - 12 BBE
So the children of Israel put up their tents in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the lowlands of Jericho.
And on the day after the Passover, they had for their food the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and dry grain on the same day.
And there was no more manna from the day after they had for their food the produce of the land; the children of Israel had manna no longer, but that year the produce of the land of Canaan was their food.
