Exodus  


17 : 1 All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of theLord, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.
17 : 2 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said,Give us water to drink.And Moses said to them,Why do you quarrel with me? Why do youtest theLord?
17 : 3 But the people thirsted there for water, andthe people grumbled against Moses and said,Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?
17 : 4 So Moses cried to theLord,What shall I do with this people? They are almost readyto stone me.
17 : 5 And theLordsaid to Moses,Pass on before the people, taking with you some of the elders of Israel, and take in your hand the staff withwhich you struck the Nile, and go.
17 : 6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel.
17 : 7 And he called the name of the placeMassahandMeribah,because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested theLordby saying,Is theLordamong us or not?
17 : 8 Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim.
17 : 9 So Moses said toJoshua,Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill withthe staff of God in my hand.
17 : 10 SoJoshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, andHur went up to the top of the hill.
17 : 11 Whenever Mosesheld up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed.
17 : 12 But Moses' hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron andHur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
17 : 13 AndJoshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword.
17 : 14 Then theLordsaid to Moses,Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears ofJoshua, thatI will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.
17 : 15 And Mosesbuilt an altar and called the name of it, TheLordIs My Banner,
17 : 16 saying,A hand upon the throneof theLord!TheLordwill have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
