Author(s):		Rashi
Date:		1105
Abstract:		This subject is recorded in the Torah, [8 What is the Seifer Ha Yoshor that is mentioned in this verse? We do not have any book that is called by that name. Rashi identifies the Seifer Ha Yoshor with Seifer Bereishis. It is so called because Yoshor means upright, and this refers to our righteous forefathers, Avrohom, Yitchok and Yaakov.] for Yaakov had said to Yosef, regarding the descendents of Ephraim "The fame of his descendants will fill the nations." [9 Bereishis 48:19.] When did this occur? On the day the sun stood still for Yehoshua, the entire world was filled with the fame of Yehoshua. [10 Yehoshua was a descendant of the tribe of Ephraim.] The sun stood still half-way in the sky [11 It stood still half-way through its orbit in the sky.] and did not hasten to set for a complete day.
