For the Israelites had wandered in the wilderness forty years , until all the nation’s men of war who had come out of Egypt had died , since they did not obey the LORD. So the LORD vowed never to let them see the land He had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey .

And the Prince of Jehovah's host saith unto Joshua , `Cast off thy shoe from off thy foot , for the place on which thou art standing is holy ;' and Joshua doth so ;

The Commander of the LORD’s army replied , “Take off your sandals , for the place where you are standing is holy .” And Joshua did so .
