'Holding' in the Bible
Now it happened that while Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and much to his amazement, he saw a man standing in front of him, holding a drawn sword in his hand! Joshua approached him and asked him, "Are you one of us, or are you with our enemies?"
Joshua did not draw back his hand that was holding the sword until all the inhabitants of Ai were completely destroyed.
