Exodus 17:8-12

8After this, the AmalekitesH6002 cameH935 and attackedH3898H5973 the IsraelitesH3478 at RephidimH7508. 9So MosesH4872 saidH559 toH413 JoshuaH3091, “ChooseH977 some of our menH582 and go outH3318 to fightH3898 the AmalekitesH6002. TomorrowH4279 IH595 will standH5324 onH5921 the hilltopH7218H1389 with the staffH4294 of GodH430 in my handH3027.”

10JoshuaH3091 didH6213 asH834 MosesH4872 had instructedH559 him and foughtH3898 against the AmalekitesH6002, while MosesH4872, AaronH175, and HurH2354 went upH5927 to the topH7218 of the hillH1389.

As long asH834 MosesH4872 held upH7311 his handsH3027, IsraelH3478 prevailedH1396; but whenH834 he loweredH5117 them, AmalekH6002 prevailedH1396. 12When MosesH4872’ handsH3027 grew heavyH3515, they tookH3947 a stoneH68 and putH7760 it under himH8478, and he satH3427 on itH5921. Then AaronH175 and HurH2354 heldH8551 his hands upH3027, oneH2088 on eachH259H2088 sideH259, so that his handsH3027 remainedH1961 steadyH530 untilH5704 the sunH8121 went downH935.
