2 How glorious he waswhen he raised his handsand when he extended his swordagainst cities!
3 Who among those who came beforestood as he did?Indeed, he fought the Lord’s wars.
4 Wasn’t the sun restrained by his hand,and one day lasted for two?
5 He called upon the Most High,the mighty one,when his enemies pressed in on himfrom every side,and the great Lord responded to himwith hailstones of mighty power.
6 He rushed headlong against a nationin battle,and on a hill he destroyed thosewho opposed him,so that the nations might knowhow well-equipped he was,because his war was foughtin the Lord’s presence.Indeed, he was a followerof the mighty one.
7 In the days of Moseshe performed acts of mercy,he and Caleb, Jephunneh’s son.They opposed the congregation,restrained the people from sin,and put an endto their wicked grumbling.
8 So out of six hundred thousand soldiers,the two were spared to lead the people into their inheritance,into a land full of milk and honey.
