  • A 12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel
    • B 12b Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon
      • C 13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher?
    • B' 13b So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day
  • A' 14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel
