Joshua 5:10-15
English Standard Version
First Passover in Canaan
10 While the people of Israel were encamped at Gilgal, they kept the Passover (A)on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening on the plains of Jericho. 11 And the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain. 12 And (B)the manna ceased the day after they ate of the produce of the land. And there was no longer manna for the people of Israel, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
The Commander of the Lord's Army
13 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, (C)a man was standing before him (D)with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?” 14 And he said, “No; but I am the commander of the army of the Lord. Now I have come.” And Joshua (E)fell on his face to the earth and worshiped[a] and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?” 15 And the commander of the Lord's army said to Joshua, (F)“Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

10 On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month,(A) while camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, the Israelites celebrated the Passover.(B) 11 The day after the Passover, that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land:(C) unleavened bread(D) and roasted grain.(E) 12 The manna stopped the day after[a] they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate the produce of Canaan.(F)
The Fall of Jericho
13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man(G) standing in front of him with a drawn sword(H) in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”
14 “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown(I) to the ground(J) in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord[b] have for his servant?”
15 The commander of the Lord’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.”(K) And Joshua did so.
