Josué 5:10 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 5:10

And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal
Not after their circumcision, but before, and where they continued encamped during that, and until the passover had been kept by them; this was little more than a mile from Jericho, (See Gill on Joshua 4:19);

and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even;
exactly as it was ordered to be observed, and was observed when first kept, ( Exodus 12:6 ) ;

in the plains of Jericho:
a proper place both for their encampment, and the celebration of the passover, and where very likely they met with lambs enough for their purpose, which belonged to the inhabitants of Jericho; or however being now got into the good land, they needed not, and were under no temptation of sparing their own: historians agree, as Strabo ^F5, Josephus ^F6, and others, that Jericho was seated in a plain.

Josué 5:10 In-Context

8 Una vez que todos fueron circuncidados, permanecieron en el campamento hasta que se recuperaron.

9 Luego el SEÑOR le dijo a Josué: «Hoy les he quitado de encima el oprobio de Egipto». Por esa razón, aquel lugar se llama Guilgal hasta el día de hoy.

10 Al caer la tarde del día catorce del mes primero, mientras acampaban en la llanura de Jericó, los israelitas celebraron la Pascua.

11 Al día siguiente, después de la Pascua, el pueblo empezó a alimentarse de los productos de la tierra, de panes sin levadura y de trigo tostado.

12 Desde ese momento dejó de caer maná, y durante todo ese año el pueblo se alimentó de los frutos de la tierra.
