Homilies on Joshua, Homilia X · §2

Sun stand over Gibeon

Sun, stand over Gibeon, and moon over the valley of Aijalon — a longer day. Heretics carp; we confess God’s power over the elements. The sun of righteousness does not set while we fight the spiritual war.

Latin

Stet sol super Gabaon et luna super vallem Aialon — dies longior. Heretici calumniantur; nos virtutem Dei confitemur qui elementis imperat. Sol iustitiae nobiscum in bello spiritali non occidit.
