Joshua 10:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 10:14

12 Then Joshua spoke 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:
^a“Sun, stand still over Gibeon;
And Moon, in the Valley of ^bAijalon.”

13 So the sun stood still,
And the moon stopped,
Till the people had revenge
Upon their enemies. ^aIs this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

14 And there has been ^ano day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded the voice of a man; for ^bthe Lord fought for Israel.

15 ^aThen Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
