habakkuk 3:11 Sun [and] moon stood in their places; They went away at the light of Thine arrows, At the radiance of Thy gleaming spear.

< Habakkuk 3:10
Habakkuk 3:12 >

      11. sun . . . moon stood still--at Joshua's command (Jos 10:12, 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 MAURER wrongly translates, "stand" (withdrawn, or hidden from view, by the clouds which covered the sky during the thunders).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 (Jos 10:10, 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.
