Exodus 17:8-16
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.
13So JoshuaH3091 overwhelmedH2522 AmalekH6002 and his armyH5971H6310 with the swordH2719.
14Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “Write thisH3789H2063 on a scrollH5612 as a reminderH2146 and reciteH7760H241 it to JoshuaH3091, becauseH3588 I will utterly blot outH4229 the memoryH2143 of AmalekH6002 from underH8478 heavenH8064.”
15And MosesH4872 builtH1129 an altarH4196 and namedH7121 itH8034 The LORDH3068 Is My BannerH5251.1 16“IndeedH3588,” he saidH559, “a handH3027 was lifted up towardH5921 the throneH3676 of the LORDH3050. The LORDH3068 will warH4421 against AmalekH6002 from generationH1755 to generationH1755.”
