The day the sun stood still and the moon stayed

태양이 머물고 달이 그친 날

Joshua 10:12–14: in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, Joshua speaks to the LORD, and says in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop in the valley of Aijalon!” The sun stands still, and the moon stays, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. The text asks, “Isn’t this written in the book of Jashar?” and says, “The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down about a whole day. There 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.”
