Joshua 5:10-15

10While the sons of Israel camped at Gilgal 1they celebrated the Passover on the evening of the 2fourteenth day of the month on the desert plains of Jericho. 11Then on the day after the Passover, on 3that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and roasted grain. 12And 4the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten some of the produce of the land, so that the sons of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate some of the yield of the land of Canaan during that year.

13Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, he raised his eyes and looked, and behold, 5a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us or for our enemies?” 14He said, “No; rather I have come now as captain of the army of the Lord.” And Joshua 6fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down, and said to him, “What has my lord to say to his servant?” 15And the captain of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “7Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
