Context of Joshua 5:10

8When all the men had been circumcised, they stayed there in the camp until they had healed. 9The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have taken away the disgrace of Egypt from you.” So that place is called Gilgal even to this day. So the Israelites camped in Gilgal and celebrated the Passover in the evening of the fourteenth day of the month on the plains of Jericho. 11They ate some of the produce of the land the day after the Passover, including unleavened bread and roasted grain. 12The manna stopped appearing the day they ate some of the produce of the land; the Israelites never ate manna again.
