* And all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin , after their journeys , according to the command of the Lord , and pitched in Rephidim . And [there was ] no water for the people to drink . * And the people wrangled with Moses and said , Give us water that we may drink . And Moses said to them , Why do you wrangle with me ? Why do you tempt the LORD ? * And the people thirsted there for water . And the people murmured against Moses and said , Why [is ] this , [that ] You brought us up out of Egypt , to kill us and our sons and our cattle with thirst ? * And Moses cried to the LORD , saying , What shall I do to this people ? They are almost ready to stone me . * And the LORD said to Moses , Go on in front of the people , and take with you the elders of Israel . And take your rod with which you struck the river , in your hand , and go . * Behold , I will stand before you there upon the rock in Horeb . And you shall smite the rock , and there shall come water out of it , so that the people may drink . And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel . * And he called the name of the place Massah , and Meribah , because of the wrangling of the sons of Israel , and because they tempted the LORD , saying , Is the LORD among us or not ? * Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim . * And Moses said to Joshua , Choose us out men , and go out to fight with Amalek . Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand . * And 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 . * And it happened when Moses held up his hand , Israel prevailed . And when he let down his hand , Amalek prevailed . * But Moses ' hands [became ] heavy . And they took a stone and put [it ] under him , and he sat on it . And Aaron and Hur held up his hands , the one on the one side , and the other on the other side . And his hands were steady until the going of the sun . * And Joshua defeated Amalek and his people by the mouth of the sword . * And the LORD said to Moses , Write this , a memorial in a book , and set [it ] in the ears of Joshua , that I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heavens . * And Moses built an altar , and called the name of it Jehovah My Banner . * And he said , A hand [is ] on the throne of the LORD ; war is to the LORD with Amalek from generation to generation .
