  • Exod 17:8-9 : 8 Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. 9 Moses said to Joshua, "Choose some men for us and go out to fight against Amalek. Tomorrow, I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand." 10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him and fought against Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed; but when he lowered his hands, Amalek prevailed. 12 When Moses' hands grew heavy, they took a stone and placed it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other, so his hands remained steady until sunset. 13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the sword. 14 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it to Joshua: 'I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.'" 15 Moses built an altar and named it The LORD Is My Banner. 16 He said, "Because hands were lifted up against the throne of the LORD, the LORD will be at war with Amalek from generation to generation."
