Exodus 17

Revised Version 1895

1And allH3605 the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265 from the wildernessH4057 of Sin, by their journeysH4550, accordingH5921 to the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, and pitchedH2583 in RephidimH7508: and there was noH369 waterH4325 for the peopleH5971 to drinkH8354. 2Wherefore the peopleH5971 strove with MosesH4872, and saidH559, GiveH5414 usH5414 waterH4325 that we may drinkH8354. And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, WhyH4100 striveH7378 ye with meH5414? wherefore doH4100 ye tempt the LORDH3068? 3And the peopleH5971 thirstedH6770 there for waterH4325; and the peopleH5971 murmuredH3885 againstH5921 MosesH4872, and saidH559, Wherefore hast thou broughtH5927 usH5921 upH5927 outH4100 of EgyptH4714, to killH4191 usH5921 and our childrenH1121 and our cattleH4735 with thirstH6772? 4And MosesH4872 criedH6817 unto the LORDH3068, sayingH559, WhatH4100 shall I doH6213 unto this peopleH5971? they be almostH4592 ready to stoneH5619 meH413. 5And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, PassH5674 on beforeH6440 the peopleH5971, and takeH3947 with thee of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and thy rodH4294, wherewith thou smotest the riverH2975, takeH3947 in thine handH3027, and goH1980. 6BeholdH2005, I will standH5975 beforeH6440 thee there uponH5921 the rockH6697 in HorebH2722; and thou shalt smiteH5221 the rockH6697, and there shall comeH3318 waterH4325 outH3318 of it, that the peopleH5971 may drinkH8354. And MosesH4872 didH6213 soH3651 in the sightH5869 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478. 7And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 MassahH4532, and MeribahH4809, becauseH5921 of the striving of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and becauseH5921 they temptedH5254 the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Is the LORDH3068 among usH5921, or notH369? 8Then cameH935 AmalekH6002, and foughtH3898 with IsraelH3478 in RephidimH7508. 9And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, ChooseH977 usH413 outH3318 menH376, and goH3318 outH3318, fightH3898 with AmalekH6002: tomorrowH4279 I will standH5324 on the topH7218 of the hillH1389 with the rodH4294 of GodH430 in mine handH3027. 10SoH6213 JoshuaH3091 didH6213 as MosesH4872 had saidH559 to him, and foughtH3898 with AmalekH6002: and MosesH4872, AaronH175, and HurH2354 wentH5927 upH5927 to the topH7218 of the hillH1389. 11And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when MosesH4872 heldH7311 upH7311 his handH3027, that IsraelH3478 prevailedH1396: and when he letH5117 downH5117 his handH3027, AmalekH6002 prevailedH1396. 12But Moses’H4872 handsH3027 were heavyH3515; and they tookH3947 a stoneH68, and putH7760 it underH8478 him, and he satH3427 thereonH5921; and AaronH175 and HurH2354 stayedH3427 upH5704 his handsH3027, the one on the one sideH2088, and the otherH259 on the otherH259 sideH2088; and his handsH3027 were steadyH530 untilH5704 the goingH935 downH3427 of the sunH8121. 13And JoshuaH3091 discomfited AmalekH6002 and his peopleH5971 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. 14And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, WriteH3789 this for a memorialH2146 in a bookH5612, and rehearse it in the earsH241 of JoshuaH3091: that I will utterly blot outH413 the remembranceH2146 of AmalekH6002 from underH8478 heavenH8064. 15And MosesH4872 builtH1129 an altarH4196, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it Jehovah-nissi: 16and he saidH559, The LORDH3068 hath sworn: the LORDH3068 will have warH4421 with AmalekH6002 from generationH1755 to generationH1755.
