E avvenne che, mentre fuggivano davanti a Israele, ed erano sulla discesa di Bet-Horon, il Signore scagliò su di loro dal cielo grandi pietre, fino ad Azeka, ed essi morirono; furono più numerosi quelli che morirono per le pietre di grandine di quelli che i figli d'Israele uccisero con la spada.
Berakhot
It has been taught : They are stones which remained suspended [in the air] for the sake of a man and descended for the sake of a man. They remained suspended for the sake of a man, viz.: Moses; for it is written, "Now the man Moses was very meek" (Num. xii. 3), and it is written, "And the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain poured not upon the earth" (Exod. ix, 33). They descended for the sake of a man, viz. Joshua ; for it is written, "Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is spirit" (Num. xxvii. 18), and it is written, "And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that the Lord cast down great stones" (Josh. x. 11).
