Joshua 10:12-15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 On the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the Lord, and he said in the sight of Israel,
“Sun, stand still at Gibeon,
and Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.”(A)
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped
until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.
Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in midheaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day.(B) 14 There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded a human voice, for the Lord fought for Israel.(C)
15 Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.(D)

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.
