Summary

In Exodus 17:10, we see the account of Joshua leading the Israelites in battle against the Amalekites while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites prevailed, but when he grew tired and lowered his hands, the Amalekites gained the upper hand. This verse illustrates the importance of intercessory prayer and spiritual support in times of battle and struggle. It also highlights the role of leadership, faith, and dependence on God for victory in the midst of challenges.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up - It is likely that the Hur mentioned here is the same with that Hur mentioned Ch1 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, Exo 24:14. His grandson Bezaleel was the chief director in the work of the tabernacle; see Exo 31:2-5.
