Reflecting on Joshua Ch. 5
Haiku for a new land
God tells Joshua
that the disgrace of Egypt
has been put away.
They are in Gilgal,
in the land promised by God;
the new era starts.
There, Israel kept
the Passover, recalling
God's deliverance.
On the day after
they ate produce from the land;
unleavened cakes, grain.
The manna ended;
they ate the crops of Canaan
land from that time on.
