Exodus 17
17:1And all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from out of the wilderness of Sin, according to their camps, through the saying of the lord. And they camped in Rephidim. But there was no water for the people to drink.
17:2And the people reviled against Moses, saying, Give to us water! that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why do you revile me? And why do you test the lord?
17:3And the people thirsted there for water. And the people complained against Moses, saying, Why is this that you hauled us from out of Egypt to kill us, and our children, and the cattle by thirst?
17:4And Moses yelled to the lord, saying, What should I do with this people? Yet in a little while and they will cast stones at me.
17:5And the lord said to Moses, Go before this people! and take with yourself some of the elders of the people, and the rod in which you struck the river! Take it in your hand and go!
17:6Behold, I stand there, before your coming upon the rock in Horeb. And you shall strike the rock, and shall come forth from out of it water, and the people shall drink. And Moses did thus before the sons of Israel.
17:7And he named the name of that place -- Test and Reviling; on account of the reviling of the sons of Israel, and on account of the testing the lord, saying, Is the lord with us or not?
17:8And Amalek came and waged war against Israel in Rephidim.
17:9And Moses said to Joshua, Choose for yourself mighty men, and going forth deploy against Amalek tomorrow! And behold, I shall stand upon the top of the hill, and the rod of God in my hand.
17:10And Joshua did as Moses told to him. And going forth he deployed against Amalek. And Moses and Aaron and Hur ascended upon the top of the hill.
17:11And it happened whenever Moses lifted up the hands, Israel grew strong. But whenever he lowered his hands, Amalek grew strong.
17:12And the hands of Moses became heavy. And taking a stone they placed it under him, and he sat down upon it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands; here one and there one. And the hands of Moses were supported until the descent of the sun.
17:13And Joshua routed Amalek, and all his people by a carnage of the sword.
17:14And the lord said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a scroll, and put it unto the ears of Joshua! For as ointment I will wipe away the memorial of Amalek from under heaven.
17:15And Moses built an altar to the lord, and named the name of it, The lord My Refuge,
17:16for with a hidden hand the lord wages war against Amalek from generations unto generations.
