Joshua 10:7-14

7So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him and all the mighty men of valor.

8Adonai said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will stand before you.”

9So Joshua came upon them suddenly by marching all night from Gilgal.

10Adonai threw them into confusion before Israel, defeated them with a crushing defeat at Gibeon, chased them by the road that goes up to Beth-horon, and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

11While they were fleeing before Israel down the descent of Beth-horon, Adonai cast down great stones from heaven on them all the way to Azekah so they died—more of them died from the hailstones than those Bnei-Yisrael killed with the sword.

12Then Joshua spoke to Adonai, on the day Adonai gave the Amorites over to Bnei-Yisrael, and said in the eyes of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, Moon, over the Aijalon Valley!”

13So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance on its enemies. (Is it not written in the Book of Jashar?) Thus the sun halted in the middle of the sky, and did not hurry to go down for about a full day.

14There was no day like that before it or after it, when Adonai listened to the voice of a man. For Adonai fought for Israel.
