225. Then spake Joshua to the Lord, in the day when the Lord delivered
up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight
of Israel, _Sun stand thou still upon Gibeon,_ and thou moon in the
valley of Ajalon. _And the sun stood still_, and the moon stayed,
until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this
written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of
heaven, and hastened not to go down about a whole day. Joshua x. 12, 13.
226. _The sun and moon stood still_ in their habitations; at the light
of thine arrows _they went_, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
Habbakukiii. 11.
227. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord caused
the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, _and made the
sea dry land_, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel
went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground; and the _waters were
a wall_ unto them on their right hand, and on their left. Exodus xiv.
21, 22. .
228. And Moses answered and said. But behold, they will not believe me,
nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, the Lord hath not appeared
unto thee. And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? and
he said, _A rod._ And he said, Cast it on the ground: _and it became a
serpent_; and Moses fled from before it. And the Lord said unto Moses,
Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail: and he put forth his hand
and caught it, _and it became a rod in his hand._ Exodus iv. 1 to 4.
229. And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, stretch out thy rod,
and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all
the land of Egypt. And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand
with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, _and it became lice in
man and in beast_: all the dust of the land became lice throughout all
the land of Egypt. And the magicians did so with their enchantments to
bring forth lice, but they could not; so there were lice upon man and
upon beast. Exodus viii. 16 to 18.
