Joshua 5:11 Douay-Rheims

And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

From the day after the Pesach. This was the day of waving the Omer, for they sacrificed the Omer first. From the seventh day of Adar, the day when Moshe died, when the manna stopped falling, they were sufficiently supplied with the manna which was in their vessels which they gathered on the seventh of Adar, as it is said, ‘They ate the manna for forty years.’ But these forty years lacked thirty days— for the manna began to fall on the fifteenth day of Iyar. We must say therefore that in the [matzo] cakes the Bnei Yisroel took with them from Egypt, they tasted the taste of manna.
