Israel circumcised and keeps the Passover at Gilgal
At Gilgal the new generation was circumcised, and Israel kept the Passover on the plains of Jericho. The manna ceased the next day when they ate produce from the land of Canaan (Joshua 5:1-12), 1451 BC.

📖 Joshua 5:1–3
1Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over, their hearts melted and their spirits failed for fear of the Israelites. 2At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel once again.” 3So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.
