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.
|
9 Moses said to Joshua, "Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands."

11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed : and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed .
|
11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning.
|
|
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.
|
12 When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up--one on one side, one on the other--so that his hands remained steady till sunset.

13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
|
13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
