Amalek Fights Israel

This search of the scriptures is from Exodus 17:8-16.

In Rephadim, Amalek fought against Israel. Moses had Joshua to select men for the fight, then, the following day Moses would "...stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in [his] hand" (Exodus 17:9,10).

"Moses, Aaron, and Hur went...to the top of the hill...[a]nd it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed" (Exodus 17:10,11). "But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun" (Exodus 17:12).

"And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword" (Exodus 17:13).

"And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven" (Exodus 17:14).

"And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi: For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation" (Exodus 17:15,16).
