War Against Amalek

8

Then 'Amalek came and fought with Isra'el at Refidim.

9

Moshe said to Y'hoshua, "Choose men for us, go out, and fight with 'Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with God's staff in my hand."

10

Y'hoshua did as Moshe had told him and fought with 'Amalek. Then Moshe, Aharon and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

11

When Moshe raised his hand, Isra'el prevailed; but when he let it down, 'Amalek prevailed.

12

However, Moshe's hands grew heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aharon and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side and the other on the other; so that his hands stayed steady until sunset.

13

Thus Y'hoshua defeated 'Amalek, putting their people to the sword.

14

ADONAI said to Moshe, "Write this in a book to be remembered, and tell it to Y'hoshua: I will completely blot out any memory of 'Amalek from under heaven."

15

Moshe built an altar, called it ADONAINissi [ADONAI is my banner/miracle],

16

and said, "Because their hand was against the throne of Yah, ADONAI will fight 'Amalek generation after generation."
