(KJV.) EXODUS 17:8-14
The defeat of the Amalek.
(8) Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim,
(9) And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men and go out, fight with Amalek tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
(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.
(11) And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
(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.
(13) And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword,
(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.
(15) And Moses built an altar and called the name of it: JEHOVAH-NISSI.
(16) For he said; Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
ADDENDUM
What is the analogy of God; that whenever Moses rose his hands, the victory was granted to the Israelites over the Amalek?
What is the significance of Moses held up hands?
Why did God instruct Moses to rehearse the scripts in the ears of Joshua?
Thank you! Be Peaceful
