" He had come to a slight rise when suddenly he looked up and there stood a man, a stranger, with his sword drawn. In a flash Joshua drew his own sword. His first thought was that the man was a spy from Jericho. As he approached, he studied the man’s features and saw strength and fearlessness. If they’re all like this, he thought, we’re in trouble. Aloud he said, “Are you for us or for our enemies?” The stranger was tall and well built and wore a simple garment with a belt about his waist. His eyes were clear, and Joshua could not make out the color. "
