12 On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the Lord in the presence of Israel:

“Sun,b stand still over Gibeon,

and moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”

13 And the sun stood still

and the moon stopped

until the nation took vengeance on its enemies.

Isn’t this written in the Book of Jashar?A

So the sun stopped

in the middle of the sky

and delayed its setting

almost a full day.
