וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶל־יְהוֹשֻׁעַ הַיּוֹם גַּלּוֹתִי אֶת־חֶרְפַּת מִצְרַיִם מֵעֲלֵיכֶם וַיִּקְרָא שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא גִּלְגָּל עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
And the Lord said to Yehoshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Miżrayim from off you. So he called the name of the place Gilgal to this day.

Rashi
גלותי. הסירותי, כמו (תהלים קיט כב): גל מעלי חרפה, (בראשית כט י): ויגל את האבן:
I have removed. [Lit. I have rolled] This is similar to: ‘Remove from me humiliation and contempt;’9Tehillim 119:22. ‘and he rolled off the stone.’10Bereishis 29:10.
וַיַּחֲנוּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּגִּלְגָּל וַיַּעֲשׂוּ אֶת־הַפֶּסַח בְּאַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר יוֹם לַחֹדֶשׁ בָּעֶרֶב בְּעַֽרְבוֹת יְרִיחֽוֹ׃
And the children of Yisra᾽el encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Yeriĥo.
And the children of Yisra᾽el encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Yeriĥo.
וַיֹּאכְלוּ מֵעֲבוּר הָאָרֶץ מִמׇּחֳרַת הַפֶּסַח מַצּוֹת וְקָלוּי בְּעֶצֶם הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
And they did eat of the corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn, that very day.
And they did eat of the corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn, that very day.
Rashi
ממחרת הפסח. יום הנפת העומר שהקריבו עומר תחלה, ומז' באדר שמת משה שפסק המן, היו מסתפקין עד עכשיו ממן שבכליהם שלקטו בשבעה באדר, שנאמר (שמות טז לה): את המן אכלו ארבעים שנה, והלא מ' שנה חסר שלשים יום, שהרי תחלת ירידת המן בט"ו באייר, אמור מעתה בחררה שהוציאו ישראל ממצרים, טעמו טעם מן:
From the day after the Pesach. This was the day of waving the Omer, for they sacrificed the Omer first.11They could not have eaten from the new grain of Eretz Yisroel until after they brought the Omer sacrifice. See Vayikroh 23:14. 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.’12Shemos 16:35. But these forty years lacked thirty days— for the manna began to fall on the fifteenth day of Iyar.13Shemos 161, 13. See Rashi’s comments there. We must say therefore that in the [matzo] cakes the Bnei Yisroel took with them from Egypt, they tasted the taste of manna.
וַיִּשְׁבֹּת הַמָּן מִֽמׇּחֳרָת בְּאׇכְלָם מֵעֲבוּר הָאָרֶץ וְלֹא־הָיָה עוֹד לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מָן וַיֹּאכְלוּ מִתְּבוּאַת אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִֽיא׃ {ס}
And the manna ceased on the morrow when they ate of the corn of the land; neither had the children of Yisra᾽el manna any more; but they did eat of the produce of the land of Kena῾an that year.

Rashi
ולא היה עוד לבני ישראל מן. לפיכך, ויאכלו מעבור הארץ, אם היה להם מן לא היו אוכלים מן התבואה, שהמן היה נוח להם, משל אומר לתינוק מפני מה אתה אוכל פת שעורין, לפי שאין לי פת חטין, לכך נאמר: ולא היה עוד וגו':
No longer did the Bnei Yisroel have manna. Therefore they ate of the grain of the land. If they would have had manna they would not have eaten of the grain, for the manna was agreeable to them. There is a parable for this: One says to a child, “Why are you eating barley bread?” “Because I have no wheat bread.” That is why it is said, ‘no longer did etc.’
גלותי. הסירותי את חרפת מצרים, שהיו אומרים: ראו כי רעה נגד פניכם, כוכב אחד יש ששמו 'רעה' והוא סימן של דם, רואין אנו אותו עליכם במדבר, והוא שאמר משה במדבר (שמות לב יב): למה יאמרו מצרים לאמר ברעה הוציאם, והם אינם יודעים שהוא דם מילה, וכשמלו בימי יהושע ובא אותו הדם, הוסרה אותה החרפה שעדיין ערב רב שעלו עמהם היו מונים להם, כך דרש ר' משה הדרשן:
I have removed. (Lit. I have rolled) I have removed the ridicule of the Egyptians who had said [when they were leaving], “See that ‘Raah’ is before you.7Shemos, 10:10. There is a star named Raah, which is a symbol of blood. We see it overpowering you in the wilderness.”8The Egyptians intimated that Bnei Yisroel would meet with disaster if they left Egypt because they would be under the power of the star of blood. This is what Moshe referred to in the wilderness [when he said,] “Why should the Egptians speak, saying, ‘With Raah, He took them out.’” But they did not know that [the blood they saw] was the blood of circumcision. And now when they were circumcised in the days of Yehoshua, and the blood of circumcision appeared, that ridicule was removed; for the mixed multitude that went up with them [from Egypt] were still taunting them. This is the way R’ Moshe, Ha Darshan explained [this passage.]
