8600.出埃及记17:10-13.并且约书亚照着摩西对他所说的去行，和亚玛力争战。摩西、亚伦与户珥都上了小山顶。于是摩西何时举手，以色列就得胜；何时垂手，亚玛力就得胜。但摩西的手发沉，他们就搬石头来，放在他下面，他就坐在上面。亚伦与户珥扶着他的手，一个在这边，一个在那边。这样，他的手就稳住，直到日落。约书亚用剑刃打败了亚玛力和他的百姓。
“并且约书亚照着摩西对他所说的去行”表进行争战的真理照着神性真理的指示行事。“和亚玛力争战”表对抗内层邪恶所生的虚假。“摩西、亚伦与户珥”表按次序相继出现的神性真理的各个层级。“都上了小山顶”表处于仁之良善。“于是摩西何时举手”表当那些属于属灵教会之人的信仰望主时。“以色列就得胜”表那时，进行争战的真理就会获胜。“何时垂手”表当他们的信转离主，俯视自我和世界时。“亚玛力就得胜”表那时虚假就会获胜。“但摩西的手发沉”表仰望主的能力正在衰退。“他们就搬石头来”表神之真理的最低层。“放在他下面，他就坐在上面”表与真理的最高层相对应。“亚伦与户珥”表按次序接下来真理的各个层级。“扶着他的手”表向进行争战的真理的能力所提供的支持。“一个在这边，一个在那边”表在各个方向。“这样，他的手就稳住”表那时能力所拥有的强大力量。“直到日落”表当这种状态即将结束时。“约书亚打败了亚玛力和他的百姓”表削弱那些沉浸于内层邪恶所生的虚假之人的能力。“用剑刃”表通过进行争战的真理。

8600. Verses 10-13. And Joshua did as Moses had said to him in fighting against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it was, when Moses lifted up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, that Amalek prevailed. And Moses' hands were heavy, and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat upon it; and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other; and it was, his hands were steady until the setting of the sun. And Joshua weakened Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. "And Joshua did as Moses had said to him," signifies the effect, as the fighting truth had been instructed by Divine truth; "in fighting against Amalek," signifies against the falsity from interior evil; "and Moses, and Aaron, and Hur," signifies Divine truths in successive order; "went up to the top of the hill," signifies in the good of charity; "and it was when Moses lifted up his hand," signifies when faith looked toward the Lord with those who were of the spiritual church; "that Israel prevailed," signifies that then the fighting truth conquered; "and when he let down his hand," signifies when the faith with them looked downward or away from the Lord to self and the world; "that Amalek prevailed," signifies that then the falsity conquered; "and Moses' hands were heavy," signifies that the power of looking upward to the Lord failed; "and they took a stone," signifies truth Divine in the ultimate of order; "and put it under him, and he sat upon it," signifies correspondence with truth in the first of order; "and Aaron and Hur," signifies truths in order; "held up his hands," signifies the upholding of the power of the fighting truth; "one on one side, and the other on the other," signifies on all sides; "and it was, his hands were steady," signifies the strength of power then; "until the setting of the sun," signifies when this state ceased; "and Joshua weakened Amalek and his people," signifies the lessening of power with those who are in falsity from interior evil; "with the edge of the sword," signifies by means of fighting truth.

8600. Verses 10-13 And Joshua did as Moses said to him, by fighting against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And so it was, when Moses raised up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. And the hands of Moses were heavy; and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and one on the other. And so it was, his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua decimateda Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
'And Joshua did as Moses said to him' means that the truth which engages in conflict acted as directed by Divine Truth. 'By fighting against Amalek' means against falsity arising from interior evil. 'And Moses, Aaron, and Hur' means levels of Divine Truth that follow one another in order. 'Went up to the top of the hill' means in the good of charity. 'And so it was, when Moses raised up his hand' means whenever the faith of those belonging to the spiritual Church looked towards the Lord. 'Israel prevailed' means that the truth engaged in conflict would then be winning. 'And when he let down his hand' means whenever their faith looked downwards or away from the Lord towards self and the world. 'Amalek prevailed' means that the falsity would then be winning. 'And the hands of Moses were heavy' means that the power to look upwards to the Lord was failing. 'And they took a stone' means the lowest level of God's truth. 'And put it under him, and he sat on it' means correspondence with the highest level of truth. 'And Aaron and Hur' means the levels of truth next in order. 'Supported his hands' means support supplied to the power of the truth engaged in conflict. 'One on one side, and one on the other' means in every direction. 'And so it was, his hands were steady' means the might which the power possessed then. 'Until the going down of the sun' means when that state was coming to an end. 'And Joshua decimated Amalek and his people' means lessening the power of those steeped in falsity arising from interior evil. 'With the edge of the sword' means by means of truth engaged in conflict.

8600. Vers. 10-13. Et fecit Joschua quemadmodum dixit illi Moscheh, pugnando in Amalekum; et Moscheh, Aharon, et Chur {1}ascenderunt caput collis. Et fuit, quando elevavit Moscheh manum suam, et praevaluit Israel, et quando (x)demisit manum suam, et praevaluit Amalek. Et manus Moschis graves, et sumpserunt lapidem, et posuerunt subter illum, et sedit super illo; et Aharon et Chur sustentabant manus illius, exhinc unus et exhinc unus; et fuit, manus illius firmae usque ad occidere solem.
