Then ^(C1)Amalek came and fought against Israel at ^(C2)Rephidim.

So Moses said to ^(C1)Joshua, "Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on the top of the hill with ^(C2)the staff of God in my hand."

Joshua did just as Moses ^(F1)told him, ^(F2)and fought against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and ^(C1)Hur went up to the top of the hill.

So it came about, when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed; but when he let his hand ^(F1)down, Amalek prevailed.

And Moses' hands were heavy. So they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur ^(C1)supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. So his hands were steady until the sun set.

And Joshua ^(F1)defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Then the LORD said to Moses, "^(C1)Write this in ^(F1)a book as a memorial and ^(F2)recite it to Joshua, ^(F3)that ^(C2)I will utterly wipe out the memory of Amalek from under heaven."

And Moses built an ^(C1)altar and named it ^(C2)The LORD is My Banner;

and he said, "^(F1)(C1)Because the LORD has sworn, the LORD will have war against Amalek from generation to generation."
