Joshua 5:13 in Context — Joshua 5

11 Ils mangèrent du blé du pays le lendemain de la Pâque, des pains sans levain et du grain rôti; ils en mangèrent ce même jour.

12 La manne cessa le lendemain de la Pâque, quand ils mangèrent du blé du pays; les enfants d’Israël n’eurent plus de manne, et ils mangèrent des produits du pays de Canaan cette année-là.

13 Comme Josué était près de Jéricho, il leva les yeux, et regarda. Voici, un homme se tenait debout devant lui, son épée nue dans la main. Il alla vers lui, et lui dit: Es-tu des nôtres ou de nos ennemis?

14 Il répondit: Non, mais je suis le chef de l’armée de l’Éternel, j’arrive maintenant. Josué tomba le visage contre terre, se prosterna, et lui dit: Qu’est-ce que mon seigneur dit à son serviteur?

15 Et le chef de l’armée de l’Éternel dit à Josué: Ote tes souliers de tes pieds, car le lieu sur lequel tu te tiens est saint. Et Josué fit ainsi.
