Jos_5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, [Art] thou for us, or for our adversaries?

Ver. 13. He lifted up his eyes.] His vigilancy did equal his valour, as it is said of Caesar.

With his sword drawn.] This sword the Lord Christ never laid down, since those words, "I will put enmity also," &c., {Gen_3:16} for there beginneth the book of the wars of the Lord, for defence of his Church.

And Joshua went unto him.] Though armed and of a majestic presence, and though there might have been snares laid for him.
