These verses describe a celestial figure as the "captain of the host of the Lord," which implies a different angelic hierarchy compared to the "angel of God" moving with the Israelites in Exodus 14:19.
Joshua 5:13-14: 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?
