Joshua 10:13 Go deeper
← Joshua 10 · ← verse 12 · verse 14 →
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. (KJV)
