Quick answer
The day after Passover, Israel ate unleavened cakes and roasted grain from the land's produce. For the first time they fed on the fruit of the Promised Land.
Overview
Eating the land's produce signaled that God's promise was now becoming tangible reality. The wilderness diet of manna was giving way to the harvest of Canaan. This transition marks God's faithfulness in bringing His people from provision in the desert to abundance in the land.
