The verse (Ex 16:35) lists two time periods at which the Jewish people stopped eating the Manna: when "they came to Eretz Noshaves" and when "they came to the edge of Eretz Kena'an.”
RASHI explains that the Jewish people arrived at the edge of Eretz Kena'an, a reference to Ever ha'Yarden (Transjordan), on the seventh of Adar, the day on which Moshe Rabeinu passed away and the Manna stopped falling.
They nevertheless continued to eat the Manna which they had collected and stored earlier until they arrived at "Eretz Noshaves," a reference to Eretz Yisrael proper, where they ate from the new produce on the sixteenth of Nisan.
We explore the pros cultural references to manna and the mystic interpretations of ingesting this bread from heaven.
