5:11a

The Hebrew word that the Berean Standard Bible leaves untranslated but the many other English versions translate as “And” signals the next event in the storyline.

The day after: The phrase The day after refers to the morning after the Israelites had eaten the Passover feast.

the Passover: It may be more natural in some languages to translate this phrase as a clause. For example:

they ate the Passover feast
-or-
they celebrated the Passover

5:11b

on that very day, they ate: The phrase on that very day emphasizes that now the Israelites could eat the crops that grew in the land of Canaan.

unleavened bread: The phrase unleavened bread refers to loaves of barley bread that they made without yeast.

and roasted grain: The phrase roasted grain refers to barley grain that they roasted over a fire.

from the produce of the land: The phrase the produce of the land refers to barley grain. Barley was ready to harvest at this time (see 3:15). The Israelites gathered barley from the fields belonging to the people of Jericho.
