Compare all
13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, a“Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that bI will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.”  
15 And Moses built an altar and called its name,1 The-Lord-Is-My-Banner;
16 for he said, “Because1 the Lord has asworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

Exodus 17:14-16

Write this for a memorial—If the bloody character of this statute seems to be at variance with the mild and merciful character of God, the reasons are to be sought in the deep and implacable vengeance they meditated against Israel (Psalms 83:4).
