Joshua 5:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 The day after Passover, the very next day, they ate some of the produce of the land: unleavened bread and parched grain. 12 The manna stopped the day after they had eaten the produce of the land. There was no more manna for the Israelites, but that same year they ate the produce of the land of Canaan.
13 Worship at Jericho.[a] As Joshua drew near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and said to him, “Are you for us or for our adversaries?”

- Joshua 5:13 The Bible has preserved only fragments of a mysterious ancient story, inspired perhaps by the story of God’s appearance to Moses in the burning bush (Ex 3) and intended to signify a solemn confirmation of Joshua’s mission as leader of the conquest. He showed his respect and subordination to God by taking off his shoes.
