Joshua 10:12-15
New Living Translation
12 On the day the Lord gave the Israelites victory over the Amorites, Joshua prayed to the Lord in front of all the people of Israel. He said,
“Let the sun stand still over Gibeon,
and the moon over the valley of Aijalon.”
13 So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place until the nation of Israel had defeated its enemies.
Is this event not recorded in The Book of Jashar[a]? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and it did not set as on a normal day.[b] 14 There has never been a day like this one before or since, when the Lord answered such a prayer. Surely the Lord fought for Israel that day!
15 Then Joshua and the Israelite army returned to their camp at Gilgal.

Legacy Standard Bible
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.
Is it not written in (C)the book of Jashar? And (D)the sun stood in the middle of the sky and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. 14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, when Yahweh listened to the voice of a man; for (E)Yahweh fought for Israel.
15 Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp to Gilgal.
