Exodus 17:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 17:10

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.
