Context — The Defeat of the Amalekites
8After this, the Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim.
9So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on the hilltop with the staff of God in my hand.”
10Joshua did as Moses had instructed him and fought against the Amalekites, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed; but when he lowered them, Amalek prevailed. 12When Moses’ hands grew heavy, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held his hands up, one on each side, so that his hands remained steady until the sun went down.Cross References

Exodus 17:10 Summary
In this verse, Joshua is following Moses' instructions to fight against the Amalekites, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur go up to the top of the hill to pray and intercede for the Israelites. This shows us the importance of trusting and obeying God's plan, as well as the power of prayer and intercession, as seen in Exodus 17:11 and James 5:16. Just like Moses needed Aaron and Hur to support him, we also need others to support and uplift us in our spiritual journeys. By trusting God and working together, we can overcome spiritual attacks and fulfill God's purposes for our lives, as described in 1 Corinthians 12:27.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Moses instruct Joshua to fight the Amalekites?
Moses instructed Joshua to fight the Amalekites because they were attacking the Israelites at Rephidim, and God had given Moses the staff of God to lead the people, as seen in Exodus 4:2 and Exodus 17:9.
What was the significance of Moses, Aaron, and Hur going up to the top of the hill?
Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill so that Moses could hold up the staff of God and intercede for the Israelites, as seen in Exodus 17:11, which is similar to how Jesus intercedes for us, as described in Romans 8:34.
How does this verse relate to the idea of spiritual warfare?
This verse relates to the idea of spiritual warfare because it shows how the physical battle against the Amalekites was also a spiritual battle, with Moses' prayers and the staff of God playing a crucial role, as seen in Ephesians 6:12 and 2 Corinthians 10:4.
What can we learn from Joshua's obedience to Moses' instructions?
We can learn from Joshua's obedience that trusting and following God's leaders and His plan is crucial for success, as seen in Hebrews 13:17 and Exodus 17:10.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can trust God and obey His instructions in my life, just like Joshua did?
- How can I use my gifts and talents to fight against spiritual attacks, like the Amalekites, in my life and the lives of those around me?
- What are some things that I can do to support and uplift my spiritual leaders, like Aaron and Hur supported Moses?
- How can I apply the principle of intercession, as seen in Moses' actions, to my own prayer life and relationships?
Gill's Exposition on Exodus 17:10
So Joshua did as Moses had said to him,.... He singled out some proper persons for the battle, and arrayed them with armour, and led them forth out of the camp, and went forth at the head of them:
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 17:10
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. Moses, Aaron, and Hur, went up to the top of the hill.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 17:10
Hur; a person of eminency both for wisdom and experience, and for place and authority, supposed to be the husband of Miriam. See .
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 17:10
Exodus 17:10 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.Ver. 10. Aaron, and Hur.] This Hur, saith Josephus, was husband to Miriam, and Moses’ s deputy. Went up to the top of a hill.] To pray together. In the congregation where the saints are praying, there the arrow, shield, and spear are broken. From thence shalt thou help us, said the people to David; that is, thy prayers shall prevail with God for our assistance. Non tam praeliando quam precando. The king of Sweden, as soon as he set foot in Germany, fell down to prayer, and he proved very victorious.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 17:10
(10) Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up.—Moses, we know, was eighty years of age (Exodus 7:7); Aaron was eighty-three; Hur, the grandfather of Bezaleel (Exodus 31:2), the architect of the Tabernacle, can scarcely have been less. Unfit for battle themselves, they felt it was by prayer and intercession that they could best help forward a good result, and so withdrew themselves from the actual conflict to a place where they could command it. Hur.—According to Jewish tradition (Joseph., Ant. Jud., iii. 2, § 4) Hur was the husband of Miriam, and so the brother-in-law of Moses and Aaron. He was a descendant of Judah through Pharez and Hezron. (1 Chronicles 2:3-20.) Moses left him joint regent with Aaron When he ascended up into Sinai (Exodus 24:14).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 17:10
Verse 10. Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up] It is likely that the Hur mentioned here is the same with that Hur mentioned 1 Chronicles 2:19, who appears from the chronology in that chapter to have been the son of Caleb, the son of Ezron, the son of Pharez, the son of Judah. The rabbins and Josephus say he was the brother-in-law of Moses, having married his sister Miriam. He was a person in whom Moses put much confidence; for he left him conjoint governor of the people with Aaron, when he went to confer with God on the mount, Exodus 24:14. His grandson Bezaleel was the chief director in the work of the tabernacle; see Exodus 31:2-5.
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 17:10
10. Hur] Although mentioned besides only in Exodus 24:14, Hur must have been a man of some importance at the time of the Exodus. No particulars are given about his family. It is not probable that he is identical with the grandfather of Beẓ ?al’el, of the same name, Exodus 31:2, &c. Later Jewish tradition (Jos. Ant. iii. 2. 4) makes him Miriam’s husband.
Barnes' Notes on Exodus 17:10
Hur - Again mentioned with Aaron, in Exodus 24:14. He was grandfather of Bezaleel, the great sculptor and artificer of the tabernacle, Exodus 31:2-5, and belonged to the tribe of Judah.
Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 17:10
9-13. Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men — Moses’s great successor, the second leader of Israel, and the type of the great Redeemer both in name and in office, now first abruptly appears before us.
