This episode explores Joshua 10 through geography, ancient culture, and Hebrew language, connecting the hailstorm at Beth Horon, the sun at Beth Shemesh, and the possibility that Joshua’s famous command describes an eclipse. See how these events may have challenged the gods worshiped by Israel’s enemies and reinforced the biblical account’s central claim: the Lord was fighting for Israel.
