17 Revised Standard Version Passage Biblia Hebraica

8Then came Am'alek and fought with Israel at Reph'idim.Rephidim - victory over the Amalekites. Ex.17.8-16וַיָּבֹא עֲמָלֵק וַיִּלָּחֶם עִם־יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּרְפִידִם׃
9And Moses said to Joshua, "Choose for us men, and go out, fight with Am'alek; tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand." וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה אֶל־יְהֹושֻׁעַ בְּחַר־לָנוּ אֲנָשִׁים וְצֵא הִלָּחֵם בַּעֲמָלֵק מָחָר אָנֹכִי נִצָּב עַל־רֹאשׁ הַגִּבְעָה וּמַטֵּה הָאֱלֹהִים בְּיָדִי׃
10So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Am'alek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. וַיַּעַשׂ יְהֹושֻׁעַ כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמַר־לֹו מֹשֶׁה לְהִלָּחֵם בַּעֲמָלֵק וּמֹשֶׁה אַהֲרֹן וְחוּר עָלוּ רֹאשׁ הַגִּבְעָה׃
11Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed; and whenever he lowered his hand, Am'alek prevailed. וְהָיָה כַּאֲשֶׁר יָרִים מֹשֶׁה יָדֹו וְגָבַר יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכַאֲשֶׁר יָנִיחַ יָדֹו וְגָבַר עֲמָלֵק׃
12But Moses' hands grew weary; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it, and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; so his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. וִידֵי מֹשֶׁה כְּבֵדִים וַיִּקְחוּ־אֶבֶן וַיָּשִׂימוּ תַחְתָּיו וַיֵּשֶׁב עָלֶיהָ וְאַהֲרֹן וְחוּר תָּמְכוּ בְיָדָיו מִזֶּה אֶחָד וּמִזֶּה אֶחָד וַיְהִי יָדָיו אֱמוּנָה עַד־בֹּא הַשָּׁמֶשׁ׃
13And Joshua mowed down Am'alek and his people with the edge of the sword. וַיַּחֲלֹשׁ יְהֹושֻׁעַ אֶת־עֲמָלֵק וְאֶת־עַמֹּו לְפִי־חָרֶב׃ ף
14And the LORD said to Moses, "Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Am'alek from under heaven." וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה כְּתֹב זֹאת זִכָּרֹון בַּסֵּפֶר וְשִׂים בְּאָזְנֵי יְהֹושֻׁעַ כִּי־מָחֹה אֶמְחֶה אֶת־זֵכֶר עֲמָלֵק מִתַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם׃
15And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The LORD is my banner, וַיִּבֶן מֹשֶׁה מִזְבֵּחַ וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמֹו יְהוָה נִסִּי׃
16saying, "A hand upon the banner of the LORD! The LORD will have war with Am'alek from generation to generation." וַיֹּאמֶר כִּי־יָד עַל־כֵּס יָהּ מִלְחָמָה לַיהוָה בַּעֲמָלֵק מִדֹּר דֹּר׃ ף
