1
And all the congregation[H5712] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]journeyed[H5265] from the wilderness[H4057] of Sin[H5512], after their journeys[H4550], according to the commandment[H6310] of the LORD[H3068], and pitched[H2583] in Rephidim[H7508]: and there was no water[H4325] for the people[H5971] to drink[H8354].
2
Wherefore the people[H5971] did chide[H7378] with Moses[H4872], and said[H559], Give[H5414] us water[H4325] that we may drink[H8354]. And Moses[H4872]said[H559] unto them, Why chide[H7378] ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt[H5254] the LORD?[H3068]
3
And the people[H5971]thirsted[H6770] there for water[H4325]; and the people[H5971]murmured[H3885] against Moses[H4872], and said[H559], Wherefore is this that thou hast brought[H5927] us up out of Egypt[H4714], to kill[H4191] us and our children[H1121] and our cattle[H4735] with thirst?[H6772]
4
And Moses[H4872]cried[H6817] unto the LORD[H3068], saying[H559], What shall I do[H6213] unto this people?[H5971] they be almost[H4592] ready to stone[H5619] me.
5
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Go[H1980]on[H5674]before[H6440] the people[H5971], and take[H3947] with thee of the elders[H2205] of Israel[H3478]; and thy rod[H4294], wherewith thou smotest[H5221] the river[H2975], take[H3947] in thine hand[H3027], and go[H1980].
6
Behold, I will stand[H5975]before[H6440] thee there upon the rock[H6697] in Horeb[H2722]; and thou shalt smite[H5221] the rock[H6697], and there shall come[H3318]water[H4325] out of it, that the people[H5971] may drink[H8354]. And Moses[H4872]did[H6213] so in the sight[H5869] of the elders[H2205] of Israel[H3478].
7
And he called[H7121] the name[H8034] of the place[H4725]Massah[H4532], and Meribah[H4809], because of the chiding[H7379] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], and because they tempted[H5254] the LORD[H3068], saying[H559], Is[H3426] the LORD[H3068]among[H7130] us, or not?
8
Then came[H935]Amalek[H6002], and fought[H3898] with Israel[H3478] in Rephidim[H7508].
9
And Moses[H4872]said[H559] unto Joshua[H3091], Choose us out[H977]men[H582], and go out[H3318], fight[H3898] with Amalek[H6002]: to morrow[H4279] I will stand[H5324] on the top[H7218] of the hill[H1389] with the rod[H4294] of God[H430] in mine hand[H3027].
10
So Joshua[H3091]did[H6213] as Moses[H4872] had said[H559] to him, and fought[H3898] with Amalek[H6002]: and Moses[H4872], Aaron[H175], and Hur[H2354] went up[H5927] to the top[H7218] of the hill[H1389].
11
And it came to pass, when Moses[H4872] held up[H7311] his hand[H3027], that Israel[H3478]prevailed[H1396]: and when he let down[H5117] his hand[H3027], Amalek[H6002]prevailed[H1396].
12
But Moses[H4872]' hands[H3027] were heavy[H3515]; and they took[H3947] a stone[H68], and put[H7760] it under him, and he sat[H3427] thereon; and Aaron[H175] and Hur[H2354] stayed up[H8551] his hands[H3027], the one on the one side[H259], and the other on the other side[H259]; and his hands[H3027] were steady[H530] until the going down[H935] of the sun[H8121].
13
And Joshua[H3091]discomfited[H2522]Amalek[H6002] and his people[H5971] with the edge[H6310] of the sword[H2719].
14
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Write[H3789] this for a memorial[H2146] in a book[H5612], and rehearse[H7760] it in the ears[H241] of Joshua[H3091]: for I will utterly[H4229] put out[H4229] the remembrance[H2143] of Amalek[H6002] from under heaven[H8064].
15
And Moses[H4872]built[H1129] an altar[H4196], and called[H7121] the name[H8034] of it Jehovahnissi[H3071]:
16
For he said[H559], Because the LORD[H3050] hath sworn[H3027] that the LORD[H3068] will have war[H4421] with Amalek[H6002] from generation[H1755] to generation[H1755].
