The Sun Stood Still

Joshua 10:12-14

Curated by Arthur·Told by Maggid·

Then Joshua spoke to the LORD on the day the LORD gave the Amorites over before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: "Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and moon, in the valley of Aijalon." And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged itself upon its enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? And the sun stood still in the midst of the sky, and did not hasten to set for about a whole day. And there was no day like that one, before it or after it, when the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.
