[Amalek becomes the progenitor of the Amalekites. This people is the first to attack the sons of Israel after they came out of Egypt and wandered for about a month from the crossing of the Red Sea. At Rephidim, they defeat the Amalekites (). Later, Moses urges them not to forget to destroy the Amalekites but to remember this (). After that, it is Saul who fights against the Amalekites and is disobedient, which means that he can no longer be king, because he does not destroy all the spoils and fails to kill their king (). In the Book of Esther, the evil Haman is a descendant of an Amalekite. He wants to exterminate all Jews but fails. Amalek is also the spiritual force that throughout history has stood for/represented all kinds of anti-Semitism, i.e., a desire to exterminate the Jews. It has taken many forms throughout history, and even replacement theology (which teaches that the role of the Jews has been completely replaced by Christianity) is a variant of anti-Semitism.]
