Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - The old corn. The produce of the land; literally, that which passes from off it, from עָבַר to pass over. Whether new or old we have no means of telling. The barley would be ripe (see note on Joshua 2:6), but the wheat harvest had not yet taken place. The morrow after the sabbath. The 15th Nisan (see Numbers 33:3). The law of the wave sheaf (Leviticus 23:10, 11) was intended to apply to corn raised by the Israelites on their own land, after Canaan had been divided to them for an inheritance (see Exodus 23:16). And parched corn; i.e., ears roasted at the fire, and the grain afterwards rubbed out, a custom still in use among the Arabs (see Leviticus 2:14; 1 Samuel 17:17; 2 Samuel 17:28, etc. See also for the precept here followed, Leviticus 23:14). This verse therefore adds some confirmation to the view that until their arrival in Palestine a full observance of the precepts of the law was impossible (see above, ver. 6).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) They did eat of the old corn.--The word occurs nowhere else except in Joshua 5:12. It need not have been last year's corn; in fact, it seems to have been the produce of this very harvest. It seems to mean "that which was brought to them," and was "the fruit" or "produce" of the land of Canaan, probably brought to the camp for sale.
