02_EXO_17_01 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 .
02_EXO_17_02 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 ?
02_EXO_17_03 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 ?
02_EXO_17_04 And Moses cried unto the LORD , saying , what shall I do unto this people ? they be Almost ready to stone me .
02_EXO_17_05 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 .
02_EXO_17_06 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 .
02_EXO_17_07 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 ?
02_EXO_17_08 Then came Amalek , And fought with Israel in Rephidim .
02_EXO_17_09 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 .
02_EXO_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 .
02_EXO_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 .
02_EXO_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 .
02_EXO_17_13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek And his people with the edge of the sword .
02_EXO_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 .
02_EXO_17_15 And Moses built an altar , And called the name of it Jehovahnissi :
02_EXO_17_16 for he said , because the LORD hath sworn [ that ] the LORD [ will have ] war with Amalek from generation to generation .
