Chapter 15 2, 3 (Exodus 17:14-16). Destruction of Amalek Not to Add to Israel’s Possessions—God did not wish His people to possess anything which belonged to the Amalekites, for His curse rested upon them and their possessions. He designed that they should have an end, and that His people should not preserve anything for themselves which He had cursed. He also wished the nations to see the end of that people who had defied Him, and to mark that they were destroyed by the very people they had despised. They were not to destroy them to add to their own possessions, or to get glory to themselves, but to fulfill the Word of the Lord spoken in regard to Amalek (The Spirit of Prophecy 1:364).{2BC 1016.3}

Kapitel 15

2, 3 (2. Mos. 17,14-16). Udryddelsen af Amalek giver ikke Israel store besiddelser. - Gud ønsker ikke at Hans folk skal have noget som tilhører amalekitterne, for Hans forbandelse hviler over dem og deres ejendomme. Han havde tænkt at de skulle få en afslutning, og at Hans folk ikke skal bevare noget for sig selv, som Han har forbandet. Han ønskede også at folkene skulle se afslutnigen af det folk som havde trodset ham, og marker at de blev udslettet af netop det folk som de havde foragtet. De skulle ikke udslette dem og lægge til deres egne besiddelser, eller tage ære selv, men opfylde Herrens Ord som blev talt til Amalek (1SP 364).
