Water
in the Rock |
|
|
 |
Exodus 17:1
|
|
Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel
journeyed by stages from the wilderness of Sin, according to the command of the
LORD, and camped at Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:2 |
|
Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and
said, "Give us water that we may drink." And Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel
with me? Why do you test the LORD?" |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 17:3 |
|
But the people thirsted there for water; and
they grumbled against Moses and said, "Why, now, have you brought us up from Egypt,
to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?" |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 17:4 |
|
So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "What
shall I do to this people? A little more and they will stone me." |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 17:5 |
|
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Pass before the
people and take with you some of the elders of Israel; and take in your hand your
staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 17:6 |
|
"Behold, I will stand before you there on the
rock at Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that
the people may drink." And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 17:7 |
|
He named the place Massah and Meribah because
of the quarrel of the sons of Israel, and because they tested the LORD, saying,
"Is the LORD among us, or not?" |

Amalek
Fought |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:8 |
|
Then Amalek came and fought against Israel at
Rephidim. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:9 |
|
So Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us
and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on the top of
the hill with the staff of God in my hand." |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:10 |
|
Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought against
Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:11 |
|
So it came about when Moses held his hand up,
that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:12 |
|
But Moses' hands were heavy. Then they took
a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his
hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until
the sun set. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:13 |
|
So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people
with the edge of the sword. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:14 |
|
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this in
a book as a memorial and recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the
memory of Amalek from under heaven." |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:15 |
|
Moses built an altar and named it The LORD is
My Banner; |
|
|
|
| Exodus 17:16 |
|
and he said, "The LORD has sworn; the LORD will
have war against Amalek from generation to generation." |
