Quoting Yigal Levin <leviny1 at mail.biu.ac.il>:
> Read again. In verse 11, God threw big stones from the sky, which chased the

> ("barad"). This is a totally supernatural phenomenon, with no storm. THEN,
> in verse 12, Joshua speaks to God in front of the Israelites, asking that

I write:
Yigal, look again at verse 11, closer to the end.  : )
