⁹ So Moses said to ^(A)Joshua, “Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on the top of the hill with ^(B)the staff of God in my hand.” ¹⁰ Joshua did just as Moses ^[a]told him, ^[b]and fought against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and ^(C)Hur went up to the top of the hill. ¹¹ So it came about, when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed; but when he let his hand ^[c]down, Amalek prevailed. ¹² And Moses’ hands were heavy. So they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur ^(D)supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. So his hands were steady until the sun set. ¹³ And Joshua ^[d]defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

¹⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “^(E)Write this in ^[e]a book as a memorial and ^[f]recite it to Joshua, ^[g]that ^(F)I will utterly wipe out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”

¹¹ So ^(A)the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When ^[a]Moses returned to the camp, ^(B)his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
