ગુજરાતીયહોશુઆ ૮:૨૯
તેણે આયના રાજાને સાંજ સુધી ઝાડ પર લટકાવી રાખ્યો. જયારે સૂર્ય આથમતો હતો ત્યારે યહોશુઆએ તેઓને આજ્ઞા આપી. તેથી તેઓ રાજાનું શબ ઝાડ ઉપરથી ઉતારી લાવ્યા અને નગરના દરવાજાની આગળ નાખ્યું. તેના ઉપર તેઓએ પથ્થરનો મોટો ઢગલો કર્યો. તે આજ દિવસ સુધી છે.
हिन्दीयहोशू ८:२९
और आई के राजा को उसने साँझ तक वृक्ष पर लटका रखा; और सूर्य डूबते-डूबते यहोशू की आज्ञा से उसका शव वृक्ष पर से उतारकर नगर के फाटक के सामने डाल दिया गया, और उस पर पत्थरों का बड़ा ढेर लगा दिया, जो आज तक बना है।
