1 And all the congregation{H5712} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} journeyed{H5265}{(H8799)} from the wilderness{H4057} of Sin{H5512}, after their journeys{H4550}, according to the commandment{H6310} of the LORD{H3068}, and pitched{H2583}{(H8799)} in Rephidim{H7508}: and there was no water{H4325} for the people{H5971} to drink{H8354}{(H8800)}.

2 Wherefore the people{H5971} did chide{H7378}{(H8799)} with Moses{H4872}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Give{H5414}{(H8798)} us water{H4325} that we may drink{H8354}{(H8799)}. And Moses{H4872} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Why chide{H7378}{(H8799)} ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt{H5254}{(H8762)} the LORD{H3068}?

3 And the people{H5971} thirsted{H6770}{(H8799)} there for water{H4325}; and the people{H5971} murmured{H3885}{(H8686)} against Moses{H4872}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought{H5927}{(H8689)} us up out of Egypt{H4714}, to kill{H4191}{(H8687)} us and our children{H1121} and our cattle{H4735} with thirst{H6772}?

4 And Moses{H4872} cried{H6817}{(H8799)} unto the LORD{H3068}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, What shall I do{H6213}{(H8799)} unto this people{H5971}? they be almost{H4592} ready to stone{H5619}{(H8804)} me.

5 And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Moses{H4872}, Go on{H5674}{(H8798)} before{H6440} the people{H5971}, and take{H3947}{(H8798)} with thee of the elders{H2205} of Israel{H3478}; and thy rod{H4294}, wherewith thou smotest{H5221}{(H8689)} the river{H2975}, take{H3947}{(H8798)} in thine hand{H3027}, and go{H1980}{(H8804)}.

6 Behold, I will stand{H5975}{(H8802)} before{H6440} thee there upon the rock{H6697} in Horeb{H2722}; and thou shalt smite{H5221}{(H8689)} the rock{H6697}, and there shall come{H3318}{(H8804)} water{H4325} out of it, that the people{H5971} may drink{H8354}{(H8804)}. And Moses{H4872} did{H6213}{(H8799)} so in the sight{H5869} of the elders{H2205} of Israel{H3478}.

7 And he called{H7121}{(H8799)} the name{H8034} of the place{H4725} Massah{H4532}, and Meribah{H4809}, because of the chiding{H7379} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, and because they tempted{H5254}{(H8763)} the LORD{H3068}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Is{H3426} the LORD{H3068} among{H7130} us, or not?

8 Then came{H935}{(H8799)} Amalek{H6002}, and fought{H3898}{(H8735)} with Israel{H3478} in Rephidim{H7508}.

9 And Moses{H4872} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Joshua{H3091}, Choose us out{H977}{(H8798)} men{H582}, and go out{H3318}{(H8798)}, fight{H3898}{(H8734)} with Amalek{H6002}: to morrow{H4279} I will stand{H5324}{(H8737)} on the top{H7218} of the hill{H1389} with the rod{H4294} of God{H430} in mine hand{H3027}.

10 So Joshua{H3091} did{H6213}{(H8799)} as Moses{H4872} had said{H559}{(H8804)} to him, and fought{H3898}{(H8736)} with Amalek{H6002}: and Moses{H4872}, Aaron{H175}, and Hur{H2354} went up{H5927}{(H8804)} to the top{H7218} of the hill{H1389}.

11 And it came to pass, when Moses{H4872} held up{H7311}{(H8686)} his hand{H3027}, that Israel{H3478} prevailed{H1396}{(H8804)}: and when he let down{H5117}{(H8686)} his hand{H3027}, Amalek{H6002} prevailed{H1396}{(H8804)}.

12 But Moses{H4872}' hands{H3027} were heavy{H3515}; and they took{H3947}{(H8799)} a stone{H68}, and put{H7760}{(H8799)} it under him, and he sat{H3427}{(H8799)} thereon; and Aaron{H175} and Hur{H2354} stayed up{H8551}{(H8804)} his hands{H3027}, the one on the one side{H259}, and the other on the other side{H259}; and his hands{H3027} were steady{H530} until the going down{H935}{(H8800)} of the sun{H8121}.

13 And Joshua{H3091} discomfited{H2522}{(H8799)} Amalek{H6002} and his people{H5971} with the edge{H6310} of the sword{H2719}.

14 And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Moses{H4872}, Write{H3789}{(H8798)} this for a memorial{H2146} in a book{H5612}, and rehearse{H7760}{(H8798)} it in the ears{H241} of Joshua{H3091}: for I will utterly{H4229}{(H8800)} put out{H4229}{(H8799)} the remembrance{H2143} of Amalek{H6002} from under heaven{H8064}.

15 And Moses{H4872} built{H1129}{(H8799)} an altar{H4196}, and called{H7121}{(H8799)} the name{H8034} of it Jehovahnissi{H3071}:

16 For he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Because the LORD{H3050} hath sworn{H3027}{H3676} that the LORD{H3068} will have war{H4421} with Amalek{H6002} from generation{H1755} to generation{H1755}.
