In this way Joshua totally defeated the Amalekites.

Moses and his helper Joshua got ready, and Moses began to go up the holy mountain.

Then Joshua son of Nun, who had been Moses' helper since he was a young man, spoke up and said to Moses, "Stop them, sir!"

These are the spies Moses sent to explore the land. He changed the name of Hoshea son of Nun to Joshua.

Moses and Joshua son of Nun recited this song, so that the people of Israel could hear it.

Later on, our ancestors who received the tent from their fathers carried it with them when they went with Joshua and took over the land from the nations that God drove out as they advanced. And it stayed there until the time of David.

If Joshua had given the people the rest that God had promised, God would not have spoken later about another day.

So Moses said to the people, "Get ready for war, so that you can attack Midian and punish them for what they did to the LORD.

From each tribe of Israel send a thousand men to war."

So the LORD asked him, "What are you holding?" "A walking stick," he answered.

So Moses took his wife and his sons, put them on a donkey, and set out with them for Egypt, carrying the walking stick that God had told him to take.
