Joshua 10:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 As they fled before Israel, while they were going down the slope of Beth-horon, the Lord threw down huge stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died; there were more who died because of the hailstones than the Israelites killed with the sword.(A)
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.”(B)
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.(C)

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.
