Then
the whole
congregation of Israel left
the Desert
of Sin, moving
from
place
to place
as
the LORD
commanded.
They
camped
at
Rephidim
, but
there was no water for the people to drink.
And
all
the congregation of the
children
of
Israel journeyed
from
the wilderness
of Sin, by
their
journeys,
according
to the commandment
of
Jehovah
, and
encamped
in
Rephidim:
and
there was no water for the people to drink.
So
the people contended
with Moses, “
Give us water to
drink. ”
“
Why do
you
contend
with me? ”
Moses
replied.
“Why
do you
test
the
LORD
? ”
Wherefore
the people stove
with Moses, and
said,
Give us water that
we
may
drink. And
Moses
said
unto
them,
Why strive
ye
with me? Wherefore
do ye
tempt
Jehovah
?
But
the people thirsted for water there,
and they
grumbled
against Moses :
“Why
have
you
brought us out of Egypt —
to make
us and our children and livestock
die
of
thirst? ”
And
the people thirsted there
for water ;
and the
people
murmured
against Moses ,
and
said,
Wherefore
hast
thou
brought us up
out of Egypt ,
to kill
us and our children and our
cattle
with
thirst?
Then
Moses cried out
to
the
LORD
, “
What should
I do with
these
people? A
little
more
and
they will
stone me !”
And
Moses cried unto
Jehovah
, saying,
What shall
I do unto
this
people? They are
almost
ready
to
stone me .
And the
LORD
said to
Moses, “Walk
on ahead
of
the people and take some
of the elders of Israel with
you.
Take along
in your
hand the
staff
with
which
you
struck
the
Nile
, and go.
And Jehovah
said unto
Moses, Pass
on before
the people ,
and take with
thee
of the elders of Israel ;
and
they
rod,
wherewith
thou
smotest
the
river,
take in thy
hand, and go.
Behold, I will stand there
before you
by
the rock at
Horeb .
And when
you
strike
the rock, water
will
come out of it for
the people to
drink. ”
So
Moses did this
in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Behold, I will stand before thee
there
upon
the rock in
Horeb ;
and thou
shalt
smite
the rock, and
there
shall
come water
out of it ,
that
the people may
drink. And
Moses did so
in the sight of the elders of Israel.
He named
the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites
quarreled
, and because they tested
the
LORD
, saying, “
Is the
LORD
among us or not? ”
And
he called
the name
of
the
place Massah ,
and Meribah ,
because of
the striving
of
the
children
of
Israel
, and because they tempted
Jehovah
, saying, Is Jehovah
among us ,
or not?
After
this,
the
Amalekites
came and attacked
the
Israelites
at
Rephidim.
Then
came Amalek,
and fought
with
Israel
in
Rephidim.
So
Moses said to
Joshua, “
Choose some
of
our
men and go out to
fight the
Amalekites.
Tomorrow
I will stand on the hilltop
with the staff
of God in my hand. ”
And
Moses said unto
Joshua, Choose us
out
men ,
and go out ,
fight with
Amalek:
to-morrow
I will stand on the top
of
the
hill
with the rod
of God in my hand.
Joshua did as Moses had instructed
him and fought against
the
Amalekites,
while
Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
So
Joshua did as Moses had said
to
him ,
and fought with
Amalek:
and
Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
As
long
as
Moses held up his hands
, Israel prevailed; but
when he lowered
them
, Amalek prevailed.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Moses held up his hand
, that
Israel prevailed; and
when he let
down
his
hand
, Amalek prevailed.
When
Moses ’
hands grew
heavy ,
they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on
it.
Then
Aaron and Hur held
his hands up
, one on each
side, so
that
his hands remained
steady until the sun
went
down.
But
Moses '
hands were
heavy ;
and
they took a stone ,
and put it under him, and he sat thereon;
and
Aaron and Hur stayed
up
his hands, the
one on the
one
side, and
the
other
on
the
other
side;
And
his hands were
steady until the going
down of
the
sun
.
So
Joshua overwhelmed
Amalek and his army
with the sword.
And
Joshua discomfited
Amalek and his people
with the edge
of
the
sword.
Then
the
LORD
said to
Moses, “
Write this on
a scroll
as
a reminder
and recite
it to
Joshua ,
because
I will utterly blot out the memory
of Amalek from under heaven. ”
And
Jehovah
said unto
Moses, Write this for
a memorial
in
a book,
and rehearse
it in
the
ears
of
Joshua :
that
I will utterly blot out the remembrance
of Amalek from under heaven.
And Moses built an altar and named
it
The LORD
Is
My
Banner.
And Moses built an altar ,
and called
the name
of
it
Jehovah-nissi;
“Indeed,”
he said, “a
hand
was
lifted
up
toward
the
throne
of
the
LORD.
The
LORD
will war against
Amalek from generation to generation. ”
And
he said, Jehovah
hath
sworn:
Jehovah
will have
war with
Amalek from generation to generation.
