I have an unopened package for Organic French Green Lentils. I am hoping to make Lentil Soup tomorrow. There is an expiration date of 8-25-21. I have never noticed an expiration date on dried legumes or beans before. What do you think? Use them or toss them?

For more information, look at this linked entry on durations, many products good and usable beyond recommended "best by" or so-called expiry date, unopened dried lentils are good for years, but yes check for off odor, insets, mold.
Odds are they'll be ok. If not, you could use another bean in the same recipe.
