Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away ^(C1)the shame of Egypt from you." So the name of that place is called ^(F1)Gilgal to this day.

While the sons of Israel camped at Gilgal ^(C1)they celebrated the Passover on the evening of the ^(C2)fourteenth day of the month on the desert plains of Jericho.

Then on the day after the Passover, on ^(F1)that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and roasted grain.

And ^(C1)the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten some of the produce of the land, so that the sons of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate some of the yield of the land of Canaan during that year.

Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, he raised his eyes and looked, and behold, ^(C1)a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us or for our enemies?"

He said, "No; rather I have come now as captain of the army of the LORD." And Joshua ^(C1)fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down, and said to him, "What has my lord to say to his servant?"

And the captain of the LORD'S army said to Joshua, "^(C1)Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did so.
