Aaron and Hur held up Moses' hands during the battle.
Aaron and Hur held up Moses' hands during the battle against Amalek to ensure Israel's victory.
Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, was punished by God with leprosy for speaking against Moses. She questioned his authority and was struck with leprosy as a consequence.
Having Moses hold his hands up symbolized prayer and reliance on God for victory. When his hands were raised, the Israelites prevailed; when they dropped, the Amalekites gained the upper hand. This story illustrates the importance of spiritual support in achieving success.
The long journey during which Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and back to Canaan is known as the Exodus.
Stephen was the disciple who was put to death in Jerusalem, falsely accused of speaking blasphemy against Moses and God. He was stoned to death for his beliefs.
Moses had a speech impediment, so he asked God to appoint Aaron as his spokesperson to communicate with the Israelites and Pharaoh. Aaron was also appointed as a support and assistant to Moses during their leadership of the Israelites.
In Exodus ch.17, we read:8 Then Amalek came, and fought with the Israelites at Rephidim. 9 And Moses said to Joshua: 'Pick some men, and go out and fight with Amalek; tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.' 10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 And when Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed; but when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it for him to sit upon; and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one man on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands remained steadfast until sunset.
This is a battle that Joshua fought against the Amalekites, while Moses held up his hand until the sun went down. The relevant verses are in Exodus 17: And Moses said to Joshua, choose men, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand. (17:10) So Joshua did as Moses said, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. When Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' arms became heavy; so they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Hur held up his arms, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands remained steadfast until sunset.
A:In Exodus chapter 17 verses 9-13, Moses sent Joshua with an army to fight the Amalek, as he watched from a hill top. While Moses held his hand above his head Joshua prevailed, but if he lowered his hand, the Amalek would prevail. Eventually Moses' assistants placed a pile of rocks under his arm and his hand stayed steady until the going down of the sun. This would be an absurd 'game' for Yahweh to play on his Chosen People, but is consistent with a very early Hebrew myth of the sun god. The Hebrews had previously journeyed from the wilderness of Sin - the land of the moon god - then Joshua the sun god had a miraculous triumph over the Amalek, but only until the sun went down.
Moses (Exodus ch.17).
Moses became week and his hands fell down during the battle, so Aron and another man kept it up.
Against Moses - None. The rebellions were against God. :-)
Moses(Exodus 17:11)So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed.But Moses' hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set.So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
AnswerExodus 17:1b-8 form a separate literary unit that separates 17:1a from the narrative that begins in Exodus 17:8. If we look at 17:1a, followed by 17:8, we can see a simpler, unified narrative: "And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin. Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun."Sin was the moon god, and the wilderness of Sin was night time. So, after they journeyed from the wilderness of Sin (night time), the mythical Amalek attacked. Joshua was able to prevail, as long as Moses held his hand up, until the going down of the sun. Those who see a literal history in this ought to wonder where the Amalek, numerous enough to threaten 600,000 fighting men, obtained their own food and water, and what their army was doing in the desert at this time. This is a very early mythical tradition recorded by the Deuteronomist.The passage in Exodus 17:1b-8 really belongs in chapter 16. The Israelites had complained about lack of food, so God sent manna. Here, they complained about lack of water, so God provided water from a rock. This is part of the Yahwist tradition.
Exodus 17:9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
