Exodus 17:9
Compare all
7 So he called the name of the place aMassah and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they3 tempted the Lord, saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”  

Victory over the Amalekites

8 aNow Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.  
9 And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with athe rod of God in my hand.”  
10 So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 And so it was, when Moses aheld up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.  
12 But Moses’ hands became1 heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Exodus

EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
