Joshua 10:13

10:13 The sun stood still and the moon stood motionless while the nation took vengeance on its enemies. The event is recorded in the Scroll of the Upright One. ¹  The sun stood motionless in the middle of the sky and did not set for about a full day. ² 

Joshua 10:2

10:2 All Jerusalem was terrified ³  because Gibeon was a large city, like one of the royal cities. It was larger than Ai and all its men were warriors.

Joshua 1:18

1:18 Any man who rebels against what you say and does not obey all your commands will be executed. ⁴  But ⁵  be strong and brave!”

¹ tn Heb “Is it not written down in the Scroll of the Upright One.” Many modern translations render, “the Scroll [or Book] of Jashar,” leaving the Hebrew name “Jashar” (which means “Upright One”) untranslated.

² tn Heb “and did not hurry to set [for] about a full day.”

³ tn This statement is subordinated to v. 1 in the Hebrew text, which reads literally, “When Adoni-Zedek…they feared greatly.” The subject of the plural verb at the beginning of v. 2 is probably the residents of Jerusalem.

⁴ tn Heb “any man who rebels against your mouth and does not listen to your words, to all which you command us, will be put to death.”

⁵ tn Or “Only.” Here and in v. 17 this word qualifies what precedes (see also v. 7).
