So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
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 midst of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down about a whole day.
World English Bible (WEB)
And the sun{H8121} stood still{H1826}{(H8799)}, and the moon{H3394} stayed{H5975}{(H8804)}, until the people{H1471} had avenged{H5358}{(H8799)} themselves upon their enemies{H341}{(H8802)}. Is not this{H1931} written{H3789}{(H8803)} in the book{H5612} of Jasher{H3477}? So the sun{H8121} stood still{H5975}{(H8799)} in the midst{H2677} of heaven{H8064}, and hasted{H213}{(H8804)} not to go down{H935}{(H8800)} about a whole{H8549} day{H3117}.
Strong's King James
and the sun standeth still, and the moon hath stood—till the nation taketh vengeance on its enemies; is it not written on the Book of the Upright, ‘and the sun standeth in the midst of the heavens, and hath not hasted to go in—as a perfect day?’
