Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Exodus 17
¹³ So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
¹⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."
¹⁵ And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-Lord-Is-My-Banner;
¹⁶ for he said, "Because the Lord has sworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation."
Exodus 18
¹ And Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel His people--that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.
² Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her back,
³ with her two sons, of whom the name of one was Gershom (for he said, "I have been a stranger in a foreign land")
⁴ and the name of the other was Eliezer (for he said, "The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh");
⁵ and Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness, where he was encamped at the mountain of God.
⁶ Now he had said to Moses, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her."
⁷ So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, bowed down, and kissed him. And they asked each other about their well-being, and they went into the tent.
