Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

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.
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
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.
And Joshua {Hebrew: prostrated.}discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
And Jehovah said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in {Or, the book}a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: {Or, for}that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it {That is, Jehovah is my banner.}Jehovah-nissi;
And he said, {Or, Because there is a hand against the throne of Jehovah Hebrew: A hand is lifted up upon the throne of Jah.}Jehovah hath sworn: Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
