In view of this, how shall we account for the statement of Joshua x 13, “The sun and moon stood still and the sun hasted not to go down about a whole day.” Does this record imply that the earth's motion upon its axis was stopped or its velocity less- ened? (J. W. A,) Answer.—A critical examination of 1is passage In the Hebrew language hich the Old Testament was writ- en discloses the. fact that Joshua nev- quested the Lord to cause the sun d moon to stand still. His request was that the sunlight and the moon- ght might be restrained or prevented from shining through the dark clouds the storm mentioned in verse 11, in which great hailstones had been form- ed, and doubtless were accompanied ¥ thunder and lightning, all of which would strike tefror into the hearts of e Amorites. Had the dark clouds rolled away und the sun shone forth, the enemies of lsruel, who were sun orshippers, would have plucked up ourage and r Joshua and his 'my the sunlight it remained dim (He- {brew dum) about a whole day—“until in | the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies.” The sclentists s {are right and in harmony with the Scriptures, for the earth did not cease 1o pursue the even tenor of ita way.
