13 And it happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, he looked up,[a] and he saw a man standing opposite him[b] with his sword drawn in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said, “Are you with us, or with our adversaries?” 14 And he said, “Neither. I have come now as the commander of Yahweh’s army.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and he bowed down[c] and said to him, “What is my lord commanding his servant?” 15 The commander of Yahweh’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals[d] from your feet,[e] for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
