Joshua 5:13-15

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹³ Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, ^(A)a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us or for our adversaries?” ¹⁴ He said, “No; rather I indeed come now as captain of the host of the Lord.” And Joshua ^(B)fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, “What has my lord to say to his servant?” ¹⁵ The captain of the Lord’s host said to Joshua, “^(C)Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
