Joshua 5:10–15
10 While the Israelites camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they observed the Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month.e 11 The day after Passover they ate unleavened bread and roasted grain from the produce of the land.f 12 And the day after they ate from the produce of the land, the manna ceased.g Since there was no more manna for the Israelites, they ate from the crops of the land of Canaan that year.
13 When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand.h Joshua approached him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”
14 “Neither,” he replied. “I have now come as commander of the Lord’s army.”i
Then Joshua bowed with his face to the ground in homagej and asked him, “What does my lord want to say to his servant?”
15 The commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.”k And Joshua did that.
