And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
(Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.)
and this voice we ourselves heard come out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.
