English Standard Version
9 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the (A)reproach of Egypt from you.” And so the name of that place is called (B)Gilgal[a] to this day.
First Passover in Canaan
10 While the people of Israel were encamped at Gilgal, they kept the Passover (C)on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening on the plains of Jericho. 11 And the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain. 12 And (D)the manna ceased the day after they ate of the produce of the land. And there was no longer manna for the people of Israel, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
