12 Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh gave over the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,

“O (A)sun, stand still at Gibeon,
And O moon in the valley of Aijalon.”
13 (B)So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies.

15 Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp to Gilgal.
