5:13. And when Josue was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and saw a man standing over against him, holding a drawn sword, and he went to him, and said: Art thou one of ours, or of our adversaries? 5:14. And he answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come. Prince of the host of the Lord, etc... St. Michael, who is called prince of the people of Israel, Dan. 10.21. 5:15. Josue fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, said: What saith my lord to his servant? Worshipping... Not with divine honour, but with a religious veneration of an inferior kind, suitable to the dignity of his person. 5:16. Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him. Josue Chapter 6 After seven days' processions, the priests sounding the trumpets, the walls of Jericho fall down: and the city is taken and destroyed. 6:1.
