Ex. 17:15      Ex. 18:1

Exodus 17:16

He said, "The hand of the Lord (Yah) is on the throne of the Lord (Yahweh), and the Lord (Yahweh) will fight against Amalek from generation to generation (from family to family)."
[This is the first enemy Israel fights after the exodus. The words here are prophetic; several battles are fought with Amalek over the years. Eventually, King Saul is given the task of fighting the Amalekites, and at that time the prophet Samuel says that everything must be destroyed, but Saul is disobedient (1 Sam. 15:1–3). Later, during the time of Queen Est, the enemy is named Haman, who is also an Amalekite (Est. 3:1). Amalek is the origin of all hatred of Jews and anti-Semitism.]
