About this story
During an attack on Israel at Rephidim, Joshua leads men in battle while Moses, Aaron and Hur go up a hill. When Moses’ hands grow heavy, his friends provide a stone seat and support his hands until sunset. Afterwards, Moses builds an altar named “The LORD is my Banner.” This gentle retelling acknowledges the battle without illustrating fighting. In a separate modern family story, Eli feels overwhelmed by a pile of paper bookmarks. Maya offers help, Mum listens, and they share the colouring before resting together with their books. This 29-page digital edition includes 14 illustrated story pages, seven questions, My Little Caring Plan, a prayer and two activities: Our Sharing Picture and Ask, Listen, Help. Grown-up notes explain the selected events and the omitted descriptions of killing and commands concerning Amalek. They encourage adults to acknowledge the full passage’s difficult context, respect requests for space, and avoid blaming children for tiredness or outcomes. Activities use paper and conversation, without arm-holding contests or stone lifting. The EPUB requires a reader supporting EPUB 3 fixed layout.
