While the people of Israel were encamped in Gilgal they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho. And on the morrow after the passover, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain. And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they ate of the produce of the land; and the people of Israel had manna no more, but ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood before him with his drawn sword in his hand; and Joshua went to him and said to him, \u201cAre you for us, or for our adversaries?\u201d And he said, \u201cNo; but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.\u201d And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, \u201cWhat does my lord bid his servant?\u201d And the commander of the Lord\u2019s army said to Joshua, \u201cPut off your shoes from your feet; for the place where you stand is holy.\u201d And Joshua did so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hazy Peak District sunset – the low sun lighting the swaying grasses, the barn full of gathered hay and swooping swallows, and the quiet country lane stretching away into the still-warm fields.
