1 Then the entire assembly of the children of Israel set out from the Wilderness of Sin, traveling from one place to another as directed by the LORD. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.

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 So the people quarreled with Moses, saying, "Give us water to drink." Moses replied to them, "Why are you quarreling with me? Why are you testing the LORD?"

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 But the people were very thirsty for water there, and they complained against Moses, saying, "Why did you bring us out of Egypt to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?"

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 Then Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "What should I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me!"

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

5 The LORD answered Moses, "Go ahead of the people and take some of the elders of Israel with you. Take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go."

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 The LORD continued, "I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink." So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.

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 named the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites quarreled and because they tested the LORD, saying, "Is the LORD among us or not?"

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 Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim.

Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

9 Moses said to Joshua, "Choose some men for us and go out to fight against Amalek. Tomorrow, I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand."

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 against Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

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 As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed; but when he lowered his hands, Amalek prevailed.

And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

12 When Moses' hands grew heavy, they took a stone and placed it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other, so his hands remained steady until sunset.

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 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the sword.

And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

14 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it to Joshua: 'I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.'"

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 Moses built an altar and named it The LORD Is My Banner.

And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:

16 He said, "Because hands were lifted up against the throne of the LORD, the LORD will be at war with Amalek from generation to generation."

For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
