8 After this, the Amalekites (dwellers in a valley) came and attacked the Israelites (God prevails) at Rephidim (resting places). 9 So Moses (drawn out) said to Joshua (YHWH saves), “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites (dwellers in a valley). Tomorrow I will stand on the hilltop with the staff of God {Elohim} in my hand.” 10 Joshua (YHWH saves) did as Moses (drawn out) had instructed him and fought against the Amalekites (dwellers in a valley), while Moses, Aaron (light bringer), and Hur (hole) went up to the top of the hill. 11 As long as Moses (drawn out) held up his hands, Israel (he wrestles with God) prevailed; but when he lowered them, Amalek (dweller in a valley) prevailed. 12 When Moses’ (drawn out) hands grew heavy, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron (light bringer) and Hur (hole) held his hands up, one on each side, so that his hands remained steady until the sun went down. 13 So Joshua (YHWH saves) overwhelmed Amalek (dweller in a valley) and his army with the sword.
