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?
