Then cameAmalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9
And Mosessaid unto Joshua,[a] Choose us outmen, 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.
10
So Joshuadid as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses,Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israelprevailed: and when he let down his hand,Amalekprevailed.
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.
13
And JoshuadiscomfitedAmalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14
And the LORDsaid 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.
15
And Mosesbuilt an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:[b]
16
For he said, Because the LORD hath swornthat the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
