a.vur denotes the land’s edible yield in Joshua’s account of Israel eating after the Passover.

The two attested uses refer to the land’s yield as food eaten by Israel: it is named with unleavened bread and roasted grain in Joshua 5:11 and contrasts with manna after it ceases in Joshua 5:12.

Senses in use

  1. The land’s yield eaten as food · dominant

    Both occurrences are masculine singular construct nouns in clauses about Israel’s food. In Joshua 5:11 the APB renders the clause “they ate some of the produce of the land,” alongside unleavened bread and roasted grain; in Joshua 5:12 it again describes eating “the produce of the land” after manna ceased.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clause as “the produce of the land” in both Joshua 5:11 and Joshua 5:12. This identifies the clause’s presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent for the noun.
