1
And it came to pass that in the thirty-second year from the time that Israel (straight to God) did leave Egypt by the hand of Moses (Mosheh, to draw up) and the power of יהוה (YHVH), that יהוה (YHVH) did come unto Moses, saying:
2
Take Joshua (Yehoshua, יהוה is salvation), the son of Nun (to increase), thy servant, and have him write these things as a memorial for thee in a book (or scroll).
3
And Moses did so, and he took a book (or scroll) and gave it unto Joshua, the son of Nun, and he did write upon it the words of יהוה (YHVH) given by Moses, saying:
4
Remember what Amalek (the descendants of Esau; they who toil) hath done unto thee in the road when thou traveled forth from Egypt (the world).
5
And who was it that did meet thee in the road and smote thy rear, even those that were feeble behind thee when thou wast faint and weary?
6
So it shall be that when יהוה (YHVH), thy Elohim, shall have given all ye rest from all your enemies round about in the land which יהוה (YHVH), thy Elohim, giveth thee for an inheritance, to possess it.
7
And therefore, I say unto thee: That when thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens, thou shalt write it down that ye not forget it.
8
And the king who shall have pity on Amalek, or upon his memory, or upon his seed: behold, I will not coddle him, and I will cut him off from amongst his people.
9
And Joshua did write all these things in the book, and he instructed the children of Israel (straight to God) regarding all these matters.
