Exodus 17:8-14

8Then 1AmalekH6002 cameH935 and foughtH3898 againstH5973 IsraelH3478 at 2RephidimH7508. 9So MosesH4872 saidH559 to 3JoshuaH3091, “ChooseH977 menH376 for us and goH3318 out, fightH3898 against AmalekH6002. TomorrowH4279 I will stationH5324 myselfH5324 on the topH7218 of the hillH1389 with 4the staffH4294 of GodH430 in my handH3027.” 10JoshuaH3091 didH6213 as MosesH4872 5toldH559 him, 6and foughtH3898 against AmalekH6002; and MosesH4872, AaronH175, and 7HurH2354 wentH5927 up to the topH7218 of the hillH1389. 11So it cameH1961 about whenH3512 MosesH4872 heldH7311 his handH3027 up, that IsraelH3478 prevailedH1396, and whenH3512 he let his handH3027 8downH5117, AmalekH6002 prevailedH1396. 12But Moses’ handsH3027 were heavyH3515. Then they tookH3947 a stoneH68 and putH7760 it underH8478 him, and he satH3427 on it; and AaronH175 and HurH2354 9supportedH8551 his handsH3027, oneH259 on oneH2088 sideH2088 and oneH259 on the otherH2088. Thus his handsH3027 were steadyH530 untilH5704 the sunH8121 setH935. 13So JoshuaH3091 10overwhelmedH2522 AmalekH6002 and his peopleH5971 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.

14Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “11WriteH3789 thisH2088 in 12a bookH5612 as a memorialH2146 and 13reciteH7760H241 it to JoshuaH3091, 14that 15I will utterlyH4229 blotH4229 out the memoryH2143 of AmalekH6002 from underH8478 heavenH8064.”
