Helping Hands

Helping hands defeat the Amalekites. Aaron and Hur held Moses’ arms up to the Lord when he no longer could to win the battle.

AR WITH AMALEK (17:8-16):

The Amalekites came to Rephidim and fought with the Israelites.
Moses commissioned a man named Joshua to lead a select group of warriors to fight against Amalek.
He told Joshua he would stand on a hill above the battle with the “staff of God” in hand.
Joshua went to battle and Moses, Aaron, and Hur climbed to the top of the hill.
Whenever Moses held up his hands, the Israelites would prevail, but whenever he put his hands down, Amalek would start winning.
When Moses got tired, Aaron and Hur held his arms up.
Joshua defeated the Amalekites.
Moses built an altar and called it “The Lord is My Banner.”
