Israel Overwhelms Amalek

⁸ Then ^(A)Amalek came and fought against Israel at ^(B)Rephidim. ⁹ So Moses said to ^(C)Joshua, “Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will take my stand on the top of the hill with ^(D)the staff of God in my hand.” ¹⁰ And Joshua did as Moses ^[a]told him, to fight against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and ^(E)Hur went up to the top of the hill. ¹¹ So it happened when Moses raised his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand ^[b]down, Amalek prevailed. ¹² But Moses’ hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur ^(F)supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set. ¹³ So Joshua ^[c]overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

¹⁴ Then Yahweh said to Moses, “^(G)Write this in ^[d]a book as a memorial and ^[e]recite it in Joshua’s hearing, ^[f]that ^(H)I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” ¹⁵ And Moses built an ^(I)altar and named it ^(J)Yahweh is My Banner; ¹⁶ and he said, “^(K)Because He has sworn with a hand upon the throne of Yah, Yahweh will have war against Amalek from generation to generation.”

²⁰ Then he looked at Amalek and took up his discourse and said,

¹⁷ “^(A)Remember what Amalek did to you along the way when you came out from Egypt, ¹⁸ how he met you along the way and attacked among you all the stragglers at your rear, but you were faint and weary; and he ^(B)did not ^[a]fear God. ¹⁹ Therefore it will be, when Yahweh your God has given you ^(C)rest from all your surrounding enemies, in the land which Yahweh your God gives you as an inheritance to ^[b]possess, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven; you must not forget.
