OET (OET-RV) In the evening of the fourth day that the people had been camped at Gilgal there on the plains near Yeriho (Jericho), they celebrated the ‘pass-over’.
Joshua circumcised the Israelite men, because they had not done this ceremony while they walked through the wilderness for forty years. Then the Israelites observed the Passover ceremony. They ate food from the land of Canaan, and God stopped sending them manna.
Here are some other possible section headings:
Circumcision of the next generation
Circumcision and the first Passover in the promised land
The Israelites celebrated Passover in Canaan and they started to eat the food that grew there. The manna that God gave them in the wilderness for forty years stopped coming, because now God had brought them to the end of their journey.

Passover: The Passover feast and the regulations about it are described in Exodus 12:1–20 and in Leviticus 23:4–8. This feast reminded the Israelites of the time when God delivered them from being slaves in Egypt.
If you have translated the New Testament, you should translate the term the Passover the same way here. For example, see Matthew 26:2.

It may be more natural in your language to use an ordinal number here. The expression the month refers implicitly to the “first month,” the Hebrew month Aviv, as in Joshua 4:19. Alternate translation: [on the fourteenth day of the month of Aviv]
