守逾越节
约书亚五章十节说，以色列人在吉甲安营；正月十四日晚上，他们在耶利哥的平原守逾越节。以色列人要守逾越节，记念耶和华救赎以色列人，使他们的长子脱离死的审判。守逾越节也是记念耶和华拯救以色列人脱离法老和埃及的权势。守逾越节指明耶和华怎样拯救以色列人脱离法老和埃及，祂也照样要毁灭迦南各族，并拯救以色列人脱离他们。因此，守逾越节鼓励以色列人，使他们确信耶和华要铲除邪恶的迦南人。以色列人守逾越节，预表信徒守主的桌子，记念主的救赎和救恩（太二六26-28）。主耶稣用饼和杯设立祂的桌子，以顶替逾越节。祂应验了预表，如今祂对我们乃是真逾越节（林前五7）。
吃应许之地的出产
约书亚五章十一至十二节说到吃应许之地的出产。吗哪是以色列人在旷野飘流时从天上来的食物。吗哪预表基督是神选民那尚未终极完成的属天食物，吃的人不需要在其上劳苦经营。应许之地的出产是他们在迦南争战时神赐给的食物。这出产预表基督是神赐给信徒那已经终极完成的食物，需要他们在祂身上劳苦经营。

Title Keeping the Passover and Eating of the Produce of the Promised Land — Jos. 5:10-12
The Keep of the Passover
Joshua 5:10 says that the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening on the plains of Jericho. The children of Israel were to keep the Passover to remember Jehovah’s redemption of Israel from the death judgment on their firstborn sons. The keeping of the Passover was also to remember Jehovah’s salvation of Israel from the power of Pharaoh and Egypt. It indicated that just as Jehovah had saved Israel from Pharaoh and Egypt so would He destroy the tribes of Canaan and deliver Israel from them. Thus the keeping of the Passover encouraged the children of Israel and gave them the assurance that Jehovah would displace the evil Canaanites. Israel’s keeping of the Passover typifies the believers’ keeping of the Lord’s table to remember the Lord’s redemption and salvation (Matt. 26:26-28). The Lord Jesus established His table with the bread and the cup to replace the Feast of the Passover. He has fulfilled the type, and now He is the real Passover to us (1 Cor. 5:7)
The Eating of the Product of the Promised Land
Joshua 5:11-12 speaks of Israel’s eating of the produce of the promised land. Manna was the food from heaven in Israel’s wandering in the wilderness. The manna typifies Christ as the unconsummated heavenly food to God’s chosen people, not requiring the eaters to labor on it. The produce of the promised land was the God-given food in their fighting in Canaan. This produce typifies Christ as the consummated God-given food to the believers, requiring them to labor on Him.
