Joshua 10:7-14

7So JoshuaH3091 and his wholeH3605 armyH4421H5973H5971, including allH3605 the mighty menH1368 of valorH2428, cameH5927 fromH4480 GilgalH1537.

8The LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 JoshuaH3091, “Do notH408 be afraidH3372 of them, forH3588 I have delivered themH5414 into your handH3027. NotH3808 oneH376 of them shall standH5975 against youH6440.”

9After marchingH5927 allH3605 nightH3915 fromH4480 GilgalH1537, JoshuaH3091 caughtH935 themH413 by surpriseH6597. 10And the LORDH3068 threw them into confusionH2000 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, who defeated themH5221 in a greatH1419 slaughterH4347 at GibeonH1391, pursued themH7291 alongH1870 the ascentH4608 to Beth-horonH1032, and struck them downH5221 asH5704 far as AzekahH5825H5704 and MakkedahH4719. 11As they fledH5127 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478H1992 along the descentH4174 from Beth-horonH1032 toH5704 AzekahH5825, the LORDH3068 cast downH7993 on themH5921 largeH1419 hailstonesH68 fromH4480 the skyH8064, and moreH7227 of themH834 were killedH4191 byH68 the hailstonesH1259 thanH834 by the swordsH2719 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478.

12

On the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 gave the AmoritesH567 overH5414 toH6440 the IsraelitesH1121H3478H559, JoshuaH3091 spokeH1696 to the LORDH3068 in the presenceH5869 of IsraelH3478:

“O sunH8121, stand stillH1826 over GibeonH1391,O moonH3394, over the ValleyH6010 of AijalonH357.”1
13So the sunH8121 stood stillH1826and the moonH3394 stoppedH5975untilH5704 the nationH1471 took vengeanceH5358upon its enemiesH341.2

Is thisH1931 notH3808 writtenH3789 inH5921 the BookH5612 of JasharH3477?3

“So the sunH8121 stoppedH5975in the middleH2677 of the skyH8064and delayedH3808H213 going downH935about a fullH8549 dayH3117.”4

14There has beenH1961 noH3808 dayH3117H1931 like it beforeH6440 or sinceH310, when the LORDH3068 listenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of a manH376, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 foughtH3898 for IsraelH3478.
