Didn't they use sundiles to tell time back then. Well how would the sundiles work with the sun standing still?

I thought that they used the hour glass. also there would be a matter of milking time with the cattle or sheep. they don't care what is going on, their schedule would have to be kept. Also, there would be tides if near the ocean. I am sure that certain chores such as baking bread have time limits to go by also. I don't think that they would have any trouble figuring it out.

The sun and the moon stood still "about a whole day".
Joshua 10:13
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

Joshua did not make the luminaries stand still--Jehovah did.

Yeah, God used to f*** with the laws of physics before modern science came along. Now he stopped.
