"Remember what Amalek did to you on the way when you came out of Egypt,

Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;

how he confronted you on the way and attacked among you all the stragglers at your rear when you were tired and weary; and he did not fear God.

How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.

"So it shall come about, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your surrounding enemies in the land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance to possess, that you shall wipe out the mention of the name Amalek from under heaven; you must not forget.

Therefore it shall be, when the Lord thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.
