Exodus 17:8-16 - Battle With The Amalekites

⁸ Then came in Amalek, - and fought with Israel, in Rephidim. ⁹ And Moses said unto Joshua - Choose for us men, and go forth, fight with Amalek, - to-morrow, am, I, stationing myself upon the top of the hill, with the staff of God in my hand.

¹⁰ So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek, - and Moses, Aaron and Hur, went up to the top of the hill. ¹¹ And it shall be when Moses shall lift on high his hands, then shall Israel prevail, but when he shall let down his hands, then shall Amalek prevail. ¹² But, the hands of Moses, were weary, so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat thereupon, - and, Aaron and Hur, upheld his hands - on this side, one and on that side, one, and so his hands became steady, until the going in of the sun. ¹³ So Joshua overthrew Amalek and his people, with the edge of the sword.

¹⁴ Then said Yahweh unto Moses - Write this as a remembrancer in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Jeshua - that I will, wipe out, the remembrance of Amalek, from under the heavens.

¹⁵ And Moses built an altar, - and called the name thereof, Yahweh-nissi. ¹⁶ And he said - Because of a hand against the throne of Yah, Yahweh hath war with Amalek, - from generation to generation!
