Joshua 5:12-14
EasyEnglish Bible
12 The manna that they had been eating no longer appeared. The Israelite people never ate manna again.[a] Now they could eat the food that was grown in Canaan.
The captain of the Lord's army
13 While Joshua was near Jericho, a man appeared to him. Joshua looked up and there he was! He stood in front of Joshua with a sword in his hand. Joshua went towards him. He asked the man, ‘Are you here to help us, or to help our enemies?’
14 The man answered, ‘Neither. I am the captain of the Lord's army. Now I am here!’
Joshua fell on the ground to worship the man and he said, ‘Sir, I am your servant. Tell me what I should do.’
