MISHNAH: It was when Moses lifted his hands then Israel had the upper hand, etc. Do Moses’s hands conduct war or break war? But any time that Israel looked up high and directed their thoughts to their Father in Heaven they were dominating, otherwise they were falling.

HALAKHAH: Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, Amaleq was a sorcerer. What did he do? He put people up on their birthday, implying that no man easily falls on his birthday. What did Moses do? He mixed planets. That is what is written, sun, moon stood in the sky, etc. And it is written, the abyss sounded, the elevated lifted his hands. Since the elevated lifted his hands, the abyss sounded. Samuel said, and the host will be given against the daily sacrifice by vice, the vice of the Torah. And truth will be thrown to the ground; anytime that Israel throws the words of the Torah to the ground, this evil government decides and succeeds. What is the reason? It threw truth to the ground, did, and succeeded. And there is no truth like Torah, as you are saying, buy truth and do not sell, wisdom, ethics, and insight. Rebbi Jehudah bar Pazi said, Israel has neglected the good, an enemy will pursue it, and there is no good but the Torah, as you are saying, for a good acquisition I gave to you, do not abandon my Torah.
