Holy Ground ✡ "Remove Your Sandals From Your Feet" - Israel365

The captain of Hashem’s host answered Yehoshua, “Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy.” AndYehoshua did so Joshua 5:15 (The Israel Bible™) וַיֹּאמֶר שַׂר־צְבָא יְהוָה אֶל־יְהוֹשֻׁעַ שַׁל־נַעַלְךָ מֵעַל רַגְלֶךָ כִּי הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה עֹמֵד עָלָיו קֹדֶשׁ הוּא וַיַּעַשׂ יְהוֹשֻׁעַ כֵּן Hear the verse in Hebrew va-YO-mer sar tz’-VA a-do-NAI el y’-ho-SHU-a shal na-al-KHA may-AL rag-LE-kha KEE ha-ma-KOM a-SHER a-TAH o-MAYD a-LAV KO-desh HU va-YA-as y’-ho-SHU-a KAYN   Holy Ground Upon entering the Land of Israel, Yehoshua (Joshua) is told to remove his shoes because the place where he is standing is holy. This is reminiscent of the similar command given to Moshe (Moses) while standing at the burning bush on the mountain of God, Mount Sinai. But there is a critical difference. Unlike Sinai, which attained  temporary holiness, the place upon which Yehoshua stood is eternally sacred for it was the ground of the Land of Israel.  Explore the holiness of the land
