Joshua 5:10-15

10The Israelite people ate the Passover meal on the evening of the 14th day of that month. They did this while they were at Gilgal, near Jericho city.

11The next day they ate food that had grown in Canaan. For the first time, they ate flat bread and grain that they cooked on a fire.

12The manna that they had been eating no longer appeared. The Israelite people never ate manna again. Now they could eat the food that was grown in Canaan.

13While Joshua was near Jericho, a man appeared to him. Joshua looked up and there he was! He stood in front of Joshua with a sword in his hand. Joshua went towards him. He asked the man, ‘Are you here to help us, or to help our enemies?’

14The man answered, ‘Neither. I am the captain of the Lord's army. Now I am here!’ Joshua fell on the ground to worship the man and he said, ‘Sir, I am your servant. Tell me what I should do.’

15The captain of the Lord's army said, ‘Remove your shoes from your feet. You are standing on holy ground.’ Joshua did that.
