*
And as they fled before Israel ,
while they were going down the ascent of Beth-hor '
on ,
the LORD threw down great stones from heaven upon them as far as Aze '
kah ,
and they died ;
there were more who died because of the hailstones than the men of Israel killed with the sword .
*
Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD gave the Amorites over to the men of Israel ;
and he said in the sight of Israel , "
Sun ,
stand thou still at Gibeon ,
and thou Moon in the valley of Ai '
jalon ."
*
And the sun stood still ,
and the moon stayed ,
until the nation took vengeance on their enemies .
Is this not written in the Book of Jashar ?
The sun stayed in the midst of heaven ,
and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day .
*
There has been no day like it before or since ,
when the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man ;
for the LORD fought for Israel .
