Exegesis
In the following coordinate clause, umosheh {וּמֹשֶׁה֙ | û-Mō-šeh} with aharon {אַהֲרֹן֣ | ʾa-hă-rōn} and vechur {וְח֔וּר | wə-ḥūr} governs alu {עָל֖וּ | ʿā-lû} ‘they went up,’ and the phrase rosh haggivah {רֹאשׁ֥ הַגִּבְעָֽה | rōʾš hag-gib-ʿāh} indicates movement to a raised viewpoint. The structure contrasts Joshua’s battlefield engagement with the elevated position of Moses, Aaron, and Hur.
In context — Exodus 17:10
Joshua obeyed Moses’ spoken command and fought Amalek . Meanwhile Moses, Aaron, and Hur ascended to the summit of the hill.
