Reading for September 29th

Read Joshua 5.13-15
In 5.13-15: The commander of the Lord's army.
In verse 13: By Jericho must be understood as "in the general vicinity of Jericho."
The drawn sword indicates that war is imminent.
Apparently assuming that the man is a human soldier.
Joshua challenges him.
In verse 14: The commander is not part of either human army but a visible sign that the Lord's supernatural forces will be fighting for Israel.
In verse 15: A quotation from Ex 3.5 draws a parallel between Joshua and Moses.
