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 .
