The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
"Ate of the produce of the land ..."  (Joshua 5:11).  The English Revised Version of 1885 rendered this "the old corn (grain)" of the land, and, it is apparently not absolutely certain that the current rendition is accurate.  Plummer stated that, "Whether new or old, we have no means of telling."[22] If it was the new corn (grain), it would have been barley, for the wheat harvest came six weeks later.  To us it would seem that not a lot of importance attaches to the question.
