Joshua 5:13-15 And it came to pass, while Joshua was at Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes, and looked, and lo! a man standing over against him, with his sword drawn, in his hand,––so Joshua went unto him, and said to him, For us, art thou, or for our adversaries?

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And it came to pass, while Joshua was at Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes, and looked, and lo! a man standing over against him, with his sword drawn, in his hand,––so Joshua went unto him, and said to him, For us, art thou, or for our adversaries? ¹⁴ And he said––Nay, but, I, as prince of the host of Yahweh, have, now, come. So Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said unto him, What is my lord speaking unto his servant? ¹⁵ Then said the prince of the host of Yahweh unto Joshua––Slip off thy sandals from thy feet, for, as for the place whereon thou art standing, holy, it is. And Joshua did so.
