13 And when Joshua was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and he saw a man standing opposite him, holding a drawn sword. And he went to him and said, 'Are you one of ours, or one of our adversaries?'
14 And he responded: 'Not at all. Instead, I am a prince of the host of the Lord, and now I have arrived.'
15 Joshua fell prone on the ground. And reverencing, he said, 'What does my lord say to his servant?'
16 He said: 'Remove your shoes from your feet. For the place on which you stand is holy.' And Joshua did just as he had been commanded.
