The LORD who wins for us:
Exodus 17:8-15
8 The
Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.
9
Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the
Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in
my hands.”
10
So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur
went to the top of the hill.
11 As
long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he
lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning.
12
When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat
on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so
that his hands remained steady till sunset.
13
So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
14 Then
the LORD said to Moses, “Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered
and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the
memory of Amalek from under heaven.”
15
Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner.
