Book of Joshua (Wikipedia)

Wikipedia, read 2026-08-18

A Wikipedia article on the Book of Joshua, noting that the conquest of Canaan begins with the battle of Jericho and that Joshua's vision of the commander of Yahweh's army, immediately before that battle, is reminiscent of the divine revelation to Moses at the burning bush.

A crowd-edited tertiary reference, used here to confirm Joshua's vision of the commander of the LORD's army outside Jericho as a real narrative episode, independently corroborated by the Victoria and Albert Museum's own catalogue description of an actual circa 1910s stained glass design of the same episode.
