Exodus 17:1
|
|
And all the congregation of the children of
Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to
the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for
the people to drink. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:2 |
|
Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and
said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye
with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD? |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 17:3 |
|
And the people thirsted there for water; and
the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast
brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 17:4 |
|
And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What
shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 17:5 |
|
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the
people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou
smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 17:6 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 17:7 |
|
And he called the name of the place Massah,
and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they
tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not? |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:8 |
|
Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in
Rephidim. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:9 |
|
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 mine hand. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:10 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:11 |
|
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his
hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:12 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:13 |
|
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people
with the edge of the sword. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:14 |
|
And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for
a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly
put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:15 |
|
And Moses built an altar, and called the name
of it Jehovahnissi: |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:16 |
|
For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that
the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. |
