¹² Then spoke Joshua to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand you still on Gibeon; You, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.

¹¹ The sun and moon stood still in the sky, At the light of your arrows as they went, At the shining of your glittering spear.

⁸ behold, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which is gone down on the dial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the dial whereon it was gone down.

²⁰ Your sun shall no more go down, neither shall your moon withdraw itself; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.

²¹ For Yahweh will rise up as on Mount Perazim, he will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

¹⁶ The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.

⁴ Their voice has gone out through all the earth, Their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,

³ and has gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of the sky, which I have not commanded;

¹⁹ and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Yahweh your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.

¹³ Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!"

²⁰ But Yahweh is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!"

⁹ "It will happen in that day," says the Lord Yahweh, "That I will cause the sun to go down at noon, And I will darken the earth in the clear day.
