² Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘I have noted what Amalek did to Israel ^(A)in opposing them on the way when they came up out of Egypt. ³ Now go and strike Amalek and ^(B)devote to destruction^[a] all that they have. Do not spare them, ^(C)but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”
