8 Then aAmalek came and fought against Israel at bRephidim. 9So Moses said to cJoshua, “Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on the top of the hill with dthe staff of God in my hand.” 10Joshua did just as Moses ▼▼Lit said to
told him, ▼▼Lit to fight
and fought against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and gHur went up to the top of the hill. 11So it came about, when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed; but when he let his hand ▼▼Lit rest
down, Amalek prevailed. 12And Moses’ hands were heavy. So they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur isupported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. So his hands were steady until the sun set. 13And Joshua ▼▼Lit weakened
defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “ kWrite this in ▼▼Lit the book
a book as a memorial and ▼▼Lit place it in the ears of
recite it to Joshua, ▼▼Or for
that oI will utterly wipe out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” 15And Moses built an paltar and named it qThe Lord is My Banner; 16and he said, “ ▼
,
sBecause the Lord has sworn, the Lord will have war against Amalek from generation to generation.”
