Joshua 5:13

¹³And it cometh to pass in Joshua's being by Jericho, that he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, one standing over-against him, and his drawn sword in his hand, and Joshua goeth unto him, and saith to him, 'Art thou for us or for our adversaries?'b

Joshua 5 marks a crucial transition for Israel after crossing the Jordan. It details three significant events: the circumcision of the new generation at Gilgal, the celebration of Passover, and the cessation of manna. These acts collectively underscore Israel's renewed covenant relationship with God and their preparation for holy war. The chapter culminates with Joshua's encounter with the Commander of the Lord's army, setting the stage for the conquest of Jericho and emphasizing divine leadership in the battles to come.
