Exodus 17:12 in Context — Exodus 17

10 E fez Josué como lhe disse Moisés, lutando com Amaleque; e Moisés e Arão e Hur subiram ao cume do morro.

11 E sucedia que quando erguia Moisés sua mão, Israel prevalecia; mas quando ele baixava sua mão, prevalecia Amaleque.

12 E as mãos de Moisés estavam pesadas; pelo que tomaram uma pedra, e puseram-na debaixo dele, e se sentou sobre ela; e Arão e Hur sustentavam suas mãos, o um de uma parte e o outro de outra; assim houve em suas mãos firmeza até que se pôs o sol.

13 E Josué derrotou a Amaleque e a seu povo a fio de espada.

14 E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Escreve isto para memória em um livro, e dize a Josué que de todo tenho de apagar a memória de Amaleque de debaixo do céu.
