1 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. 2 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? 3 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? 4 And Moses cried unto the LORD, say­ing, What shall I do unto this peo­ple? they be al­most ready to stone me. 5 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. 6 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. 7 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? 8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Is­rael in Rephidim. 9 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.
