Joshua 5:11
Hebrew Bible
9 The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have taken away the disgrace of Egypt from you.” So that place is called Gilgal even to this day. 10 So the Israelites camped in Gilgal and celebrated the Passover in the evening of the fourteenth day of the month in the rift valley plains of Jericho. 11 They ate some of the produce of the land the day after the Passover, including unleavened bread and roasted grain. 12 The manna stopped appearing the day they ate some of the produce of the land; the Israelites never ate manna again. They ate from the produce of the land of Canaan that year.

LXX Joshua 5:11
Septuagint
9 And the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, “On this day I have removed the insult of Egypt from you.” And Joshua called the name of that place Gilgal. 10 And the sons of Israel performed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month from evening, from the sunset at Jericho in the area beyond the Jordan on the plain. 11 And they ate from the grain of the land, unleavened and fresh. 12 On this day the manna came to an end after they ate from the grain of the land, and manna was available no longer to the sons of Israel. They enjoyed the produce of the fleece of the Phoenicians in that year.

Notes and References
"... Whereas previous scholars had treated the variants between LXX and the Masoretic text in a rather atomistic way, Holmes pointed to the inner logic of the shorter LXX version and the coherence of the pluses in the Masoretic. The fact, for instance, that in Joshua 5.11-12 both the phrase ‘on the day after Passover’ and the phrase ‘on the day’ are not represented in Greek cannot be attributed to scribal error. Rather they must reflect a later redaction of the shorter Hebrew version underlying LXX that sought to adjust the Joshua narrative to the priestly regulations in Leviticus 23.4-8, 9-14 ..."
