¹⁶ As for you, raise up ^(A)your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and split it, and the sons of Israel shall ^[a]go through the midst of the sea on dry land.

⁹ So Moses said to ^(A)Joshua, “Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will take my stand on the top of the hill with ^(B)the staff of God in my hand.” ¹⁰ And Joshua did as Moses ^[a]told him, to fight against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and ^(C)Hur went up to the top of the hill. ¹¹ So it happened when Moses raised his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand ^[b]down, Amalek prevailed. ¹² But Moses’ hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur ^(D)supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set. ¹³ So Joshua ^[c]overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

²⁶ For Joshua ^(A)did not withdraw his hand with which he stretched out the javelin until he had devoted to destruction all the inhabitants of Ai.
