Habakkuk 3:11
_ _ sun ... moon stood still — at Joshua’s command (Joshua 10:12, Joshua 10:13). Maurer wrongly translates, “stand” (withdrawn, or hidden from view, by the clouds which covered the sky during the thunders).
_ _ light of thine arrows — hail mixed with lightnings (Joshua 10:10, Joshua 10:11).
_ _ they went — The sun and moon “went,” not as always heretofore, but according to the light and direction of Jehovah’s arrows, namely, His lightnings hurled in defense of His people; astonished at these they stood still [Calvin]. Maurer translates, “At the light of Thine arrows (which) went” or flew. |

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.
