The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn’t this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down about a whole day.

ગુજરાતીયહોશુઆ ૧૦:૧૩
લોકોએ પોતાના દુશ્મનો ઉપર વેર વાળ્યું ત્યાં સુધી સૂર્ય સ્થિર રહ્યો અને ચંદ્ર થંભી ગયો. આ બધું ‘યાશારના’ પુસ્તકમાં લખેલું નથી શું?’ અને આકાશની વચ્ચે સૂર્ય થંભી રહ્યો અને લગભગ એક આખા દિવસ માટે તે આથમ્યો નહિ.’
हिन्दीयहोशू १०:१३
और सूर्य उस समय तक थमा रहा; और चन्द्रमा उस समय तक ठहरा रहा, जब तक उस जाति के लोगों ने अपने शत्रुओं से बदला न लिया। क्या यह बात याशार नामक पुस्तक में नहीं लिखी है कि सूर्य आकाशमण्डल के बीचोबीच ठहरा रहा, और लगभग चार पहर तक न डूबा?

In context

11As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, the LORD hurled down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the children of Israel killed with the sword.

12Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel. He said in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop in the valley of Aijalon!”

13The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn’t this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down about a whole day.

14There was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD listened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.

15Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
