| 11As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. | 11Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. | 11So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed. | 11And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. | 11While Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, but whenever he put his hand down, Amalek prevailed. |

Then 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. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set. | 12But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. | 12When Moses' hands grew heavy, they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat down on it.
