¹² Then speaketh Joshua to Jehovah in the day of Jehovah's giving up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he saith, before the eyes of Israel, `Sun -- in Gibeon stand still; and moon -- in the valley of Ajalon;'

¹¹ Sun -- moon -- hath stood -- a habitation, At the light thine arrows go on, At the brightness, the glittering of thy spear.

⁸ Lo, I am bringing back the shadow of the degrees that it hath gone down on the degrees of Ahaz, by the sun, backward ten degrees:' and the sun turneth back ten degrees in the degrees that it had gone down.

²⁰ Thy sun goeth no more in, And thy moon is not removed, For Jehovah becometh to thee a light age-during. And the days of thy mourning have been completed.

²¹ For as `at' mount Perazim rise doth Jehovah, As `at' the valley in Gibeon He is troubled, To do His work -- strange `is' His work, And to do His deed -- strange `is' His deed.'

³ Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.

¹⁶ Thine `is' the day, also Thine `is' the night, Thou hast prepared a light giver -- the sun.

⁴ Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in them,

²⁶ If I see the light when it shineth, And the precious moon walking,

²⁷ And my heart is enticed in secret, And my hand doth kiss my mouth,

⁷ Who is speaking to the sun, and it riseth not, And the stars He sealeth up.

¹² and Elon the Zebulunite dieth, and is buried in Aijalon, in the land of Zebulun.

⁴² and Shalabbin, and Aijalon, and Jethlah,

¹³ and the sun standeth still, and the moon hath stood -- till the nation taketh vengeance `on' its enemies; is it not written on the Book of the Upright, `and the sun standeth in the midst of the heavens, and hath not hasted to go in -- as a perfect day?'

³ and he doth go and serve other gods, and doth bow himself to them, and to the sun, or to the moon, or to any of the host of the heavens, which I have not commanded --

¹⁹ `And lest thou lift up thine eyes towards the heavens, and hast seen the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of the heavens, and thou hast been forced, and hast bowed thyself to them, and served them, which Jehovah thy God hath apportioned to all the peoples under the whole heavens.

¹³ Hush, all flesh, because of Jehovah, For He hath been roused up from His holy habitation!'

²⁰ And Jehovah `is' in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!

⁹ And it hath come to pass in that day, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I have caused the sun to go in at noon, And caused darkness on the land in a day of light,
