And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
The manna stopped falling the day after they ate food from the land. The Israelites never had manna again, but instead ate the crops and fruit that grew in the land of Canaan that year.
God stopped providing manna once the Israelites could eat food from their new homeland, showing that His provision changes as our needs change.
📚 Historical Context
This occurred after the Israelites had crossed the Jordan River and entered the Promised Land of Canaan. For 40 years in the wilderness, God had miraculously provided manna (bread from heaven) every day to feed the entire nation. Now that they were in a fertile land where they could grow crops and harvest food, the supernatural provision was no longer needed.
