Wesley's
Notes

5:13 By Jericho - Heb. In Jericho, that is, in the
territory adjoining to it; whither he went to view those
parts, and discern the fittest places for his attempt upon
Jericho. A man - One in the appearance of a man. Drawn - In
readiness to fight, not, as Joshua thought, against him, but
for him and his people.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
Bible Commentary

Jos 5:13-15. An Angel Appears to Joshua.

13. when Joshua was by Jericho-in the immediate vicinity of
that city, probably engaged in surveying the fortifications,
and in meditating the best plan of a siege.

there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn-It
is evident from the strain of the context that this was not a
mere vision, but an actual appearance; the suddenness of which
surprised, but did not daunt, the intrepid leader.

Matthew
Henry's Concise Commentary

5:13-15 We read not of any appearance of God's glory to
Joshua till now. There appeared to him one as a man to be
noticed. This Man was the Son of God, the eternal Word. Joshua
gave him Divine honours: he received them, which a created
angel would not have done, and he is called Jehovah, chap.
6:2. To Abraham he appeared as a traveller; to Joshua as a man
of war. Christ will be to his people what their faith needs.
Christ had his sword drawn, which encouraged Joshua to carry
on the war with vigour. Christ's sword drawn in his hand,
denotes how ready he is for the defence and salvation of his
people. His sword turns every way. Joshua will know whether he
is a friend or a foe. The cause between the Israelites and
Canaanites, between Christ and Beelzebub, will not admit of
any man's refusing to take one part or the other, as he may do
in worldly contests. Joshua's inquiry shows an earnest desire
to know the will of Christ, and a cheerful readiness and
resolution to do it. All true Christians must fight under
Christ's banner, and they will conquer by his presence and
assistance.

Genesis 18:1 Now the LORD
appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, while he was
sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day.

Genesis 18:2 When he lifted up
his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing
opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent
door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth,

Genesis 32:24 Then Jacob was left
alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak.

Genesis 32:30 So Jacob named the
place Peniel, for he said, "I have seen God face to
face, yet my life has been preserved."

Numbers 22:31 Then the LORD
opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the
LORD standing in the way with his drawn sword in his
hand; and he bowed all the way to the ground. (NASB
