Actually, it's 2 Kings, which according to the legend seems to imply that the earth reversed in its rotation 10 degrees in the span of seconds. By my calculation, that's about a million meters in however many seconds it took for those at the surface of the equator.
I was actually thinking of the story of jericho.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
