Book 02 : EXODUS - Chapter 017
017:001
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
017:002
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
017:003
And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto
this people? they be almost ready to stone me
017:004
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
017:005
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
017:006
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
017:007
Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim
017:008
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
017:009
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
017:010
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel
prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed
017:011
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
017:012
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of
the sword
017:013
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
017:014
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it
Jehovahnissi
017:015
For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will
have war with Amalek from generation to generation
