The Stones of Beth-Horon and Sights That Demand Thanksgiving

"And it came to pass, as they fled before the children of Israel, that the LORD cast down upon them great stones from heaven, and they were on the descent of Beth-Horon" (Joshua 10:11). Our Rabbis taught: one who sees the crossing-places of the Sea, the crossing-places of the Jordan, the crossing-places of the streams of Arnon, the hailstones of Elgavish, the stones of Beth-Horon, the stone that Og king of Bashan hurled, the stone upon which Moses sat when he made war with Amalek, the wife of Lot, and the walls of Jericho that were swallowed up in their place - all of these require one to give praise and thanksgiving before the Omnipresent. The stones of Beth-Horon, as it is written, "And it came to pass, as they fled before the children of Israel."
