6. And the men of Giḇ‛on sent to Yehoshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Do not withdraw your hand from your servants. Come up to us quickly, and save us and help us, for all the sovereigns of the Amorites who dwell in the mountains have assembled against us.”
7. And Yehoshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the soldiers with him, and all the mighty brave men.
8. And יהוה said to Yehoshua, “Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hand. Not one of them does stand before you.”
9. So then Yehoshua came upon them suddenly, having gone up all night from Gilgal.
10. And יהוה threw them into confusion before Yisra’ĕl, and they smote them with a great slaughter at Giḇ‛on, and pursued them along the way that goes to Bĕyth Ḥoron, and smote them as far as Azĕqah and Maqqĕḏah.
11. And it came to be, as they fled before Yisra’ĕl and were on the descent of Bĕyth Ḥoron, that יהוה threw down large hailstones from the heavens on them as far as Azĕqah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the sons of Yisra’ĕl had slain with the sword.
12. Then Yehoshua spoke to יהוה in the day when יהוה gave the Amorites over to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and he said before the eyes of Yisra’ĕl, “Sun, stand still over Giḇ‛on; and moon, in the Valley of Ayalon.”
13. So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Yashar? Thus the sun stopped in the midst of the heavens, and did not hasten to go down for an entire day.
14. And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that יהוה listened to the voice of a man, because יהוה fought for Yisra’ĕl.
15. So Yehoshua returned, and all Yisra’ĕl with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
