Joshua 10:9-13

9JoshuaH3091 therefore cameH935 upon them suddenlyH6597; for he wentH935 up from GilgalH1537 all the nightH3915. 10And Jehovah discomfited them before IsraelH3478, and he slew them with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347 at GibeonH1391, and chased them by the wayH1870 of the ascent of Beth-horonH1032, and smote them to AzekahH5825, and unto MakkedahH4719. 11And it came to pass, as they fledH5127 from before IsraelH3478, while they were at the descentH4174 of Beth-horonH1032, that Jehovah castH7993 downH7993 greatH1419 stonesH68 from heavenH8064 upon them unto AzekahH5825, and they diedH4191: they were moreH4480 who diedH4191 with the hailstones than they whom the children of IsraelH3478 slewH2026 with the swordH2719.

12ThenH227 spake JoshuaH3091 to Jehovah in the dayH3117 when Jehovah delivered up the AmoritesH567 before the children of IsraelH3478; and he saidH559 in the sight of IsraelH3478,

SunH8121, stand thou still upon GibeonH1391;And thou, MoonH3394, in the valleyH6010 of AijalonH357.13And the sunH8121 stoodH5975 stillH5975, and the moonH3394 stayed,Until the nationH1471 had avengedH5358 themselves of their enemiesH341.

Is not this writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of JasharH3477? And the sunH8121 stayed in the midst of heavenH8064, and hasted not to goH935 down about a whole dayH3117.
