Talmud su Giosuè 5:13
וַיְהִ֗י בִּֽהְי֣וֹת יְהוֹשֻׁעַ֮ בִּירִיחוֹ֒ וַיִּשָּׂ֤א עֵינָיו֙ וַיַּ֔רְא וְהִנֵּה־אִישׁ֙ עֹמֵ֣ד לְנֶגְדּ֔וֹ וְחַרְבּ֥וֹ שְׁלוּפָ֖ה בְּיָד֑וֹ וַיֵּ֨לֶךְ יְהוֹשֻׁ֤עַ אֵלָיו֙ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ל֔וֹ הֲלָ֥נוּ אַתָּ֖ה אִם־לְצָרֵֽינוּ׃
E avvenne che, quando Giosuè fu accanto a Gerico, sollevò gli occhi e guardò, ed ecco, un uomo si mise contro di lui con la spada in mano; e Giosuè andò da lui e gli disse:'Sei tu per noi o per i nostri avversari?' .
Jerusalem Talmud Nedarim
HALAKHAH: “One who vows not to use a town,” etc. From where that the suburbs of a town are like the town? It is written56Jos. 5:13; this is written before the description of the conquest of Jericho. In the Babli, 56b, the argument is in the name of R. Joḥanan. Since for the Sages, the biblical meaning of a word has precedence over the meaning in the vernacular, one tries to have a biblical reference for the Sages’ opinion., “it happened when Joshua was in Jericho.” How could he have been in Jericho? Is it not written that57Jos. 6:1: “Jericho was closed and besieged because of the Children of Israel; no one left and no one entered.” “Jericho was closed and besieged,” and you say so? Rebbi Judan bar Shalom said, he was in a suburb. Rebbi Abun in the name of Rebbi Aḥa: It happened in Jericho58The argument does not prove anything; nobody can be sure that the editor of the book of Joshua follows a chronological order; cf. Soṭa 8, Note 127..
