They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.

EXPLANATION

Verse 11. Corn. Some pretend that the Hebrew means “old corn.” But the ancient interpreters take no notice of this restriction. The offering of corn was probably omitted on this occasion, as the Israelites had not cultivated the land.—Frumenty. Septuagint “new corn.” Hebrew “parched, on that same day.” These last words are taken by the Septuagint as a part of the next sentence.
