¹³ Then Moses and Joshua his servant got up; and Moses went up into the mountain of God.

²⁰ And Moses took his wife and his sons and put them on an ass and went back to the land of Egypt: and he took the rod of God in his hand.

⁴⁴ So Moses said all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Hoshea, the son of Nun.

² And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.

⁸ For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have said anything about another day.

³ So Moses said to the people, Let men from among you be armed for war to put into effect against Midian the Lord's punishment on them.

⁴ From every tribe of Israel send a thousand to the war.

¹⁶ These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to get knowledge about the land. And Moses gave to Hoshea, the son of Nun, the name of Joshua.

²⁸ Then Joshua, the son of Nun, who had been Moses' servant from the time when he was a child, said, My lord Moses, let them be stopped.

¹³ And Joshua overcame Amalek and his people with the sword.
