Giovanni Battista BEINASCHI 1636 - 1688 Italian, Italy, Joshua stopping the sun XVIIth century, Italian, Italy, ( Joshua Stops the Sun (1273 BCE) On the third of Tammuz of the year 2488 from creation (1273 BCE), Joshua was leading the Jewish people in one of the battles to conquer the Land of Israel. Victory was imminent, but darkness was about to fall. "Sun," proclaimed Joshua, "be still at Giv'on; moon, at the Ayalon valley" (Joshua 10:12). The heavenly bodies acquiesced, halting their progress through the sky until Israel's armies brought the battle to its successful conclusion. )
