# I will completely blot out the memory of Amalek

God speaks of destroying Amalek as if he were removing people's memory of Amalek. When a group of people is completely destroyed, there is nothing to remind people about them. AT: "I will completely destroy Amalek" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# a hand was lifted up

# a hand was lifted up

This can be stated in active form. AT: "Yahweh lifted up his hand" or "Yahweh made a solemn promise" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
