Question source
Joshua
Joshua met a man standing with a drawn sword who identified himself as “the commander of the army of the LORD” Joshua 5:13–14. He told Joshua to remove his sandals because the place was holy Joshua 5:15.
13It happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against 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?
14He said, No; but [as] prince of the host of Yahweh am I now come. Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said to him, What says my lord to his servant?
15The prince of Yahweh`s host said to Joshua, Put off your shoe from off your foot; for the place whereon you stand is holy. Joshua did so.
