Exodus 17:8-16

8Then 1AmalekH6002 cameH935 and foughtH3898 againstH5973 IsraelH3478 at 2RephidimH7508. 9So MosesH4872 saidH559 to 3JoshuaH3091, “ChooseH977 menH376 for us and goH3318 outH3318, fightH3898 against AmalekH6002. TomorrowH4279 I will stationH5324 myself on the topH7218 of the hillH1389 with 4the staffH4294 of GodH430 in my handH3027.” 10JoshuaH3091 didH6213 justH3512 asH3512 MosesH4872 5toldH559 him, 6and foughtH3898 against AmalekH6002; and MosesH4872, AaronH175, and 7HurH2354 wentH5927 upH5927 to the topH7218 of the hillH1389. 11So it cameH1961 aboutH1961, whenH3512 MosesH4872 heldH7311 his handH3027 upH7311, that IsraelH3478 prevailedH1396; but whenH3512 he letH5117 his handH3027 8downH5117, AmalekH6002 prevailedH1396. 12And Moses’ handsH3027 were heavyH3515. So 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. So his handsH3027 were steadyH530 untilH5704 the sunH8121 setH935. 13And JoshuaH3091 10defeatedH2522 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 wipeH4229 outH4229 the memoryH2143 of AmalekH6002 from underH8478 heavenH8064.” 15And MosesH4872 builtH1129 an 16altarH4196 and namedH7121H8034 it 17The LordH3068 is My BannerH5251; 16and he saidH559, “1819BecauseH3588 the LordH3050 has swornH3027H5921H3678, the LordH3068 will have warH4421 against AmalekH6002 from generationH1755 to generationH1755.”
