So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some men and go and fight the Amalekites tomorrow. I will stand on the top of the hill and watch you. I will be holding the walking stick God gave me.”
In this way the Lord spoke to Moses face to face. The Lord spoke to Moses like a man speaks with his friend. After speaking with the Lord, Moses would go back to the camp. But his helper always stayed in the tent. This helper was Joshua son of Nun.
So the followers came to John. They said, “Teacher, remember the man that was with you on the other side of the Jordan River? He is the man you were telling people about. That man is baptizing {\cf2\super [53]} people, and many people are going to him.”
