13 When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him holding a drawn sword. Joshua approached him and asked him, |Are you on our side or allied with our enemies?| 14 He answered, |Truly I am the commander of the LORD's army. Now I have arrived!| Joshua bowed down with his face to the ground and asked, |What does my master want to say to his servant?| 15 The commander of the LORD's army answered Joshua, |Remove your sandals from your feet, because the place where you stand is holy.| Joshua did so.
