Exodus 17 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Water in the Rock

(Num 20:1–13 )

Exo 17:1

Exo 17:1Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed by [fn]stages from the wilderness of Sin, according to the [fn]command of the LORD, and camped at Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink.

Exo 17:2

Exo 17:2Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water that we may drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?”

Exo 17:3

Exo 17:3But the people thirsted there for water; and [fn]they grumbled against Moses and said, “Why, now, have you brought us up from Egypt, to kill [fn]us and [fn]our children and [fn]our livestock with thirst?”

Exo 17:4

Exo 17:4So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, “What shall I do to this people? A little more and they will stone me.”

Exo 17:5

Exo 17:5Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pass before the people and take with you some of the elders of Israel; and take in your hand your staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.

Exo 17:6

Exo 17:6“Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

Exo 17:7

Exo 17:7He named the place [fn]Massah and [fn]Meribah because of the quarrel of the sons of Israel, and because they tested the LORD, saying, “Is the LORD among us, or not?”

Amalek Fought

(Gen 14:7; Num 13:29; 14:25 )

Exo 17:8

Exo 17:8Then Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim.

Exo 17:9

Exo 17:9So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”

Exo 17:10

Exo 17:10Joshua did as Moses [fn]told him, [fn]and fought against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

Exo 17:11

Exo 17:11So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand [fn]down, Amalek prevailed.

Exo 17:12

Exo 17:12But Moses’ hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set.

Exo 17:13

Exo 17:13So Joshua [fn]overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Exo 17:14

Exo 17:14Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this in [fn]a book as a memorial and [fn]recite it to Joshua, [fn]that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”

Exo 17:15

Exo 17:15Moses built an altar and named it The LORD is My Banner;

Exo 17:16

Exo 17:16and he said, “[fn]The LORD has sworn; the LORD will have war against Amalek from generation to generation.”
