- Is this a tour group you would want to join?
- A big battle takes place between the Israelites and the Amalekites. How is the battle won? [Ex 17: 8-12] (This is one of my favorite stories in the Bible. It encourages us all to hold each other's hands up until we have the victory. It bears repeating. Ask the students to tell their parents about Aaron and Hur helping Moses hold up his hands.)

- What did your parents say when you told them the story of Aaron and Hur holding up Moses' hands?
- What does it mean to hold up each other's hands?
