אחל תת פחדך — כתיב הכא אחל תת פחדך וכתיב ביהושע (יהושע ג') אחל גדלך, מכאן שכשם שעמדה לו חמה ליהושע כך עמדה לו חמה למשה.

English: I will begin to put your dread — here it says “I will begin,” and regarding Yehoshua it says “I will begin to make you great”; just as the sun stood for Yehoshua, so the sun stood for Moshe.

On the daf / in context: The Gemara reads “I will begin” as a parallel to Yehoshua’s miracle of the sun standing still.
