Exodus 17:8-16
| Exodus 17:8-16 |
||
| 17:8 | Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. |
|
| 17:9 | And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. | |
| 17:10 | So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. | |
| 17:11 | And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. | |
| 17:12 | But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. | |
| 17:13 | And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. | |
| 17:14 | And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. | |
| 17:15 | And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi: | |
| 17:16 | For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. | |
