UEksodusi 17:8-16

U-Amaleki weza walwa no-Israyeli eRafidimi. UMose wayesethi kuJoshuwa: “Sikhethele amadoda, uphume ulwe no-Amaleki; kusasa ngiyakuma esiqongweni sentaba, induku kaNkulunkulu isesandleni sami. UJoshuwa wenza njengalokho uMose emyalile, walwa no-Amaleki; oMose, no-Aroni, noHure bakhuphukela esiqongweni sentaba. Lapho uMose ephakamisa isandla sakhe, u-Israyeli wahlula; lapho esehlisa, u-Amaleki wahlula. Kodwa izandla zikaMose zazinzima; bathatha itshe, balibeka phansi kwakhe, wahlala phezu kwalo; o-Aroni noHure baphakamisa izandla zakhe, omunye ngalapha, omunye engalapha; izandla zakhe zaziqinile laze lashona ilanga. UJoshuwa wasanganisa u-Amaleki nabantu bakhe ngobukhali benkemba. INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Kubhale egwalweni kube yisikhumbuzo, ukuphindaphinde endlebeni zikaJoshuwa, ngoba ngizacima ngokupheleleyo isikhumbuzo sikaAmaleki ngaphansi kwezulu. UMose walakha i-altare, walibiza ngokuthi uJehova-Nisi. Wathi: “Ngokuba uJehova ufungile ukuthi uJehova uyakulwa no-Amaleki izizukulwane ngezizukulwane.”
