Joshua Chapter 10:
This is the one when Josh asks God to stop the Sun (and the moon - why?) which he does for a full day.
Now its fair enough that Josh thought the Sun went round the Earth - but God thought that too?
Now you could argue that Josh didn't understand but God did so he actually stopped the Earth going around the Sun. The problem is that the Earth is actually travelling about 60,000 miles an hour around the Sun so unless he very carefully put the brakes on everyone on the trailing side of the earth would have been squished into the ground and everyone on the leading edge would have been blasted off into space.
Of course that is a minor effect compared to what happens to the seas....
