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 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?
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?
04 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying,
What shall I do unto this people? they be almost
ready to stone me.
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.
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.
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?

08 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel
in Rephidim.
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.
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.
11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up
his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let
down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
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.
13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his
people with the edge of the sword.
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.
15 And Moses built an altar, and called the
name of it Jehovahnissi:
16 For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn
that the Lord will have war with Amalek from
generation to generation.
