The following photograph of the Hebrew Scroll of Joshua is opened to the column where it says:

Joshua 10:12 1 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.
13 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 hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
15  And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

אז ידבר יהושׁע ליהוה ביום תת יהוה את־האמרי לפני בני ישׂראל ויאמר לעיני ישׂראל שׁמשׁ בגבעון דום וירח בעמק אילון׃
 וידם השׁמשׁ וירח עמד עד־יקם גוי איביו הלא־היא כתובה על־ספר הישׁר ויעמד השׁמשׁ בחצי השׁמים ולא־אץ לבוא כיום תמים׃
 ולא היה כיום ההוא לפניו ואחריו לשׁמע יהוה בקול אישׁ כי יהוה נלחם לישׂראל׃
 וישׁב יהושׁע וכל־ישׂראל עמו אל־המחנה הגלגלה׃
