'Stood' in the Bible

For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
