Amalek is doomed to destruction; and Moses builds the altar Jehovah-nissi And Moses built an altar The act of building an altar is deeply rooted in the Hebrew tradition as a means of worship and remembrance. The Hebrew word for altar, "mizbeach," signifies a place of sacrifice and offering. In the context of Exodus, altars were often constructed to commemorate divine intervention or covenantal moments. Moses, as a leader and prophet, builds this altar to acknowledge God's presence and victory over the Amalekites. This act of building is not merely physical but spiritual, symbolizing a foundation of faith and gratitude. and named it The LORD Is My Banner And called the name of it Jehovah-nissi.--Jacob had named an altar "El-Elohe-Israel" (Genesis 33:20); but otherwise we do not find altars given special names. When an altar was built as a memorial, the purpose would be helped by a name, which would tend to keep the event commemorated in remembrance. Jehovah-nissi--"the Lord is my banner"--would tell to all who heard the word that here there had been a struggle, and that a people which worshipped Jehovah had been victorious. It is not clear that there is any reference to "the rod of God" (Exodus 17:9) as in any sense the "banner" under which Israel had fought. The banner is Jehovah Himself, under whose protection Israel had fought and conquered. Verse 15. - Moses built an altar. An altar naturally implies a sacrifice, and Moses may well have thought that the signal victory obtained required to be acknowledged, and as it were requited, by offerings. In giving his altar a name, he followed the example of Jacob, who called an altar which he built, El-Elohe-Israel (Genesis 33:20). Moses' name for his altar, Jehovah-nisi, meant "the Lord is my banner," and was intended to mark his ascription of the entire honour of the victory to Jehovah but had probably no reference to the particular mode in which the victory was gained.Parallel Commentaries ...
