Joshua 10:11-13
Good News Translation
11 While the Amorites were running down the pass from the Israelite army, the Lord made large hailstones fall down on them all the way to Azekah. More were killed by the hailstones than by the Israelites.
12 On the day that the Lord gave the men of Israel victory over the Amorites, Joshua spoke to the Lord. In the presence of the Israelites he said,
“Sun, stand still over Gibeon;
Moon, stop over Aijalon Valley.”
13 (A)The sun stood still and the moon did not move until the nation had conquered its enemies. This is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stood still in the middle of the sky and did not go down for a whole day.

Joshua 10:11-13
New International Version
11 As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the Lord hurled large hailstones(A) down on them,(B) and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.
12 On the day the Lord gave the Amorites(C) over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:
“Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.(D)”
13 So the sun stood still,(E)
and the moon stopped,
till the nation avenged itself on[a] its enemies,
as it is written in the Book of Jashar.(F)
The sun stopped(G) in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.
