← Exodus 17:11	Exodus 17:12 (KJV)	Exodus 17:13 →
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.	And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
