Exodus 17 follows the Feasts pattern. Joshua goes out to fight (Passover/Exodus) and then Moses ascends the hill (Firstfruits/Leviticus) and draws near to God. The battle with Amalek begins at the centre – Pentecost. So it is truly a picture of the crucified Christ as head over the body, Joshua’s army.

Thanks for your comment.

The Church Fathers have always seen this slightly differently though. More as a prefiguring of Christ’s crucifixion. So his arm should be outstretched as one crucified. I hope you don’t take this is criticism though.
