probably of foreign origin; Amalek, a descendant of Esau;
also his posterity and their country:--Amalek.
Then came [0935] Amalek [06002], and fought [03898] with Israel [03478] in Rephidim [07508].
And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto Joshua [03091], Choose us out [0977] men [0582], and go out [03318], fight [03898] with Amalek [06002]: to morrow [04279] I will stand [05324] on the top [07218] of the hill [01389] with the rod [04294] of God [0430] in mine hand [03027].Joshua: called Jesus
So Joshua [03091] did [06213] as Moses [04872] had said [0559] to him, and fought [03898] with Amalek [06002]: and Moses [04872], Aaron [0175], and Hur [02354] went up [05927] to the top [07218] of the hill [01389].
And it came to pass, when Moses [04872] held up [07311] his hand [03027], that Israel [03478] prevailed [01396]: and when he let down [05117] his hand [03027], Amalek [06002] prevailed [01396].
And Joshua [03091] discomfited [02522] Amalek [06002] and his people [05971] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719].
And the Lord [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Write [03789] this for a memorial [02146] in a book [05612], and rehearse [07760] it in the ears [0241] of Joshua [03091]: for I will utterly [04229] put out [04229] the remembrance [02143] of Amalek [06002] from under heaven [08064].
For he said [0559], Because the Lord [03050] hath sworn [03676] [03027] that the Lord [03068] will have war [04421] with Amalek [06002] from generation [01755] to generation [01755].Because…: or, Because the hand of Amalek is against the throne of the Lord, therefore, etcthe Lord hath…: Heb. the hand upon the throne of the Lord
