As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed; but when he lowered them, Amalek prevailed. Context 11So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed. 12But Moses’ hands were heavy. Then 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 one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set. 13So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this in a book as a memorial and recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” 15Moses built an altar and named it The LORD is My Banner; 16and he said, “The LORD has sworn; the LORD will have war against Amalek from generation to generation.” Links Exodus 17:11 NIVExodus 17:11 NLT Exodus 17:11 ESV Exodus 17:11 NASB Exodus 17:11 KJV Exodus 17:11 Commentaries Bible Hub |
