Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Exodus 17
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 the 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 held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
¹² But Moses’ hands became 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.
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")
