Exodus 17 : 8 - 16
Chapter 17
| 8 | Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
|
| 9 | And Moses said to Joshua, "Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand."
|
| 10 | So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
|
| 11 | And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
|
| 12 | But Moses' hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
|
| 13 | So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
|
| 14 | Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."
|
| 15 | And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner;
|
| 16 | for he said, "Because the LORD has sworn: the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation."
