The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Okay. So again we were looking yesterday at uh Peric Yud and I want to juxtapose for a moment Peric Yud and Peric Olive because both of them talk about military campaigns and both involve multiple kings. So if you're pericu you'll remember the misa was that there were five kings including Adonit Sedek the Melik Shallayim that declared war against Givon because the Gonim made peace with Ben Israel and they thought that would endanger the Canaanite position and the Gonim then turned to Yahosua for aid and Yahushua gathered his army against those five kings. uh the armies were defeated, the armies were annihilated and the five kings were executed and hung. And uh the two significant aspects of that story is number one uh as the uh armies of those kings were retreating before they were massacred and defeated, there were hailstones, huge hailstones that came down Min Shamayim. And the Pusk says the people that died from the hail was even greater than the casualties of the war. And the second part of the story is of course the very famous stopping of the sun for either 6 hours or 12 hours or 24 hours. Some even say more than that. Different opinions. The great great miracle. And uh we we left off with the statement that this has never happened. There was never a situation where God listened to the voice of a man ordering the sun to stop. And uh yesterday we discussed the fact that well this is not the first time that the sun stopped and it's not the last time the sun stopped. The sun stopped for Moshe. Uh the sun stopped for Yakovu. The sun stopped for Kiskio when he was sick. And the sun stopped much much later for Nakimono and Ben
