Exodus 17

1And all the congregationH5712 of the children of IsraelH3478 journeyed from the wildernessH4057 of Sin, by their journeys, according to the commandment of Jehovah, and encampedH2583 in RephidimH7508: and there was no waterH4325 for the peopleH5971 to drinkH8354. 2Wherefore the peopleH5971 strove with MosesH4872, and saidH559, GiveH5414 us waterH4325 that we may drinkH8354. And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, WhyH4100 strive ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt Jehovah? 3And the peopleH5971 thirsted there for waterH4325; and the peopleH5971 murmured against MosesH4872, and saidH559, Wherefore hast thou broughtH5927 us up out of EgyptH4714, to killH4191 us and our children and our cattle with thirstH6772? 4And MosesH4872 criedH6817 unto Jehovah, sayingH559, What shall I do unto this peopleH5971? they are almost ready to stoneH5619 me. 5And Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, PassH5674 on before the peopleH5971, and takeH3947 with thee of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and thy rodH4294, wherewith thou smotest the riverH2975, takeH3947 in thy handH3027, and goH1980. 6Behold, I will standH5975 before thee there upon the rockH6697 in HorebH2722; and thou shalt smite the rockH6697, and there shall comeH3318 waterH4325 out of it, that the peopleH5971 may drinkH8354. And MosesH4872 did soH3651 in the sight of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478. 7And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 MassahH4532, and MeribahH4809, because of the striving of the children of IsraelH3478, and because they tempted Jehovah, sayingH559, Is Jehovah among us, or not?

8Then cameH935 AmalekH6002, and foughtH3898 with IsraelH3478 in RephidimH7508. 9And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, ChooseH977 us out menH376, and goH3318 out, fightH3898 with AmalekH6002: to-morrow I will standH5324 on the topH7218 of the hillH1389 with the rodH4294 of GodH430 in my handH3027. 10So JoshuaH3091 did as MosesH4872 had saidH559 to him, and foughtH3898 with AmalekH6002: and MosesH4872, AaronH175, and HurH2354 wentH5927 up to the topH7218 of the hillH1389. 11And it came to pass, when MosesH4872 held up his handH3027, that IsraelH3478 prevailedH1396; and when he let down his handH3027, AmalekH6002 prevailedH1396. 12But Moses’H4872 handsH3027 wereH1961 heavyH3515; and they tookH3947 a stoneH68, and putH7760 it under him, and he satH3427 thereon; and AaronH175 and HurH2354 stayed up his handsH3027, the oneH259 on the oneH259 side, and the other on the other side; and his handsH3027 wereH1961 steady until the goingH935 downH3427 of the sunH8121. 13And JoshuaH3091 discomfited AmalekH6002 and his peopleH5971 with the edge of the swordH2719. 14and Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, WriteH3789 this for a memorialH2146 in a bookH5612, and rehearse it in the earsH241 of JoshuaH3091: that I will utterly blot out the remembranceH2146 of AmalekH6002 from under heavenH8064. 15And MosesH4872 builtH1129 an altarH4196, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it Jehovah-nissi; 16and he saidH559, Jehovah hath sworn: Jehovah will have warH4421 with AmalekH6002 from generationH1755 to generationH1755.
