Joshua 10:14

And there was no day This is still a quotation from the Book of Jashar, or "of riзtwise men," as Wyclif translates it.

"And so stood the sunne in the mydil of heuene,

And hyede not to goo doun the space of o day;

There was not before ne afterward so loong a day;

For the Lord obeide to the vois of man,

And fauiзt for Israel."

Compare the returning of the shadow on the dial of Ahaz in the time of Hezekiah, 2 Kings 20:11; Isaiah 38:8.

for the Lord fought for Israel Compare the account of Josephus, "He then heard that God was helping him, by the signs of thunder, lightning, and unusual hailstones; and that the day was increased lest the night should check the zeal of the Hebrews.… That the length of the day did then increase, and was longer than usual, is told in the books laid up in the temple." Ant. 5. Joshua 1:17.
