And Moon, in the Valley of (B)Aijalon.”
13 So the sun stood still,
And the moon stopped,
Till the people had revenge
Upon their enemies.
(C)Is 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 (D)no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded the voice of a man; for (E)the Lord fought for Israel.
