¹⁵ The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward.

¹¹ Whenever Moses ^(A)held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. ¹² But Moses' hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and ^(B)Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

³⁰ The next day Moses said to the people, ^(A)“You have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to the Lord; ^(B)perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”

¹³ And Moses cried to the Lord, “O God, please heal her—please.”

⁴⁸ And he stood between the dead and the living, and ^(A)the plague was stopped.

¹⁸ Then I ^(A)lay prostrate before the Lord ^(B)as before, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin that you had committed, ^(C)in doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger.
