The Sun Stands Still

The Sun Stands Still

Joshua tells the sun to freeze and God actually extends the whole day so Israel can finish a battle — no cap.

Conquest & JudgesOld Testament~1405 BCE

Five kings team up against Gibeon for making peace with Israel, so Joshua rolls up to defend them. Mid-battle, he literally commands the sun and moon to stand still, and they do. God throws in a bonus hailstorm that takes out more enemies than the swords did. There has never been a day like it before or since.

JoshuaThe Day the Sun Got Put on Pause

Five Amorite kings team up to take down Gibeon, and Joshua pulls an all-night march to catch them lacking. God throws hailstones from the sky, Joshua tells the sun to freeze, and Israel goes on a conquest speed run that's absolutely unhinged. No cap.
