Evidence context

How this source is used

Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.

Investigation

Does Joshua's 'Sun stood still' describe a literal astronomical event?

Qualifies

A 2017 astronomical paper argues that Joshua 10 could be read as an annular solar eclipse around 1207 BCE, showing that a natural celestial-observation reading is possible without stopping Earth's rotation.

Qualifies

The proposed 1207 BCE annular eclipse reading has published chronological objections and other date interpretations; none entails a stopped-Earth event.

Per-source study access and uncertainty documented in B09 R02–R03; not independent direct verification of the overarching historical event.
