Joshua 10:12-15
New American Standard Bible
12 Then Joshua spoke to the Lord on the day when the Lord turned the Amorites over to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel,
“(A)Sun, stand still at Gibeon,
And moon, at the Valley of Aijalon!”
13 (B)So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies.
Is it not written in (C)the Book of Jashar? And (D)the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not hurry to go down for about a whole day. 14 There was no day like that before it or after it, when the Lord listened to the voice of a man; for (E)the Lord fought for Israel.
15 Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp [a]at Gilgal.

Joshua 10:12-15
Common English Bible
12 On the day the Lord gave the Amorites into the power of Israel, Joshua spoke to the Lord in the presence of the Israelites:
“Sun, stand still at Gibeon!
and Moon, at the Aijalon Valley!”
13 The sun stood still and the moon stood motionless
until a nation took revenge on its enemies.
Isn’t this written in the Jashar scroll? So the sun stood motionless in the middle of the sky. For a whole day, it was in no hurry to go down. 14 There hasn’t been a day like it before or since, when the Lord responded to a human voice. The Lord fought for Israel. 15 Then Joshua along with all Israel came back to the camp at Gilgal.
