Exodus 17:8-16
The Defeat of the Amalekites

8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

8:

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:

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.

10:

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:

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:

13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

13:

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.

14:

15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:

15:

16 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn [that] the LORD [will have] war with Amalek from generation to generation.

16:
