* And all the assembly of the sons of Israel set forward out of the desert of Sin , by their removings , at the bidding of Yahweh , and encamped in Rephidim , and there was no water for the people to drink . * And the people found fault with Moses , and said Give us water , that we may drink . And Moses said to them , Why should ye find fault with me ? Why should ye put Yahweh to the proof ? * So the people thirsted , there for water , and the people murmured against Moses , and said Wherefore is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt , to kill me and my sons and my cattle , with thirst ? * And Moses made outcry unto Yahweh saying , What am I to do , with this people ? Yet a little , and they will stone me . * Then said Yahweh unto Moses Pass over before the people , and take with thee some of the elders of Israel , thy staff also wherewith thou didst smite the river , take thou in thy hand , so shalt thou go thy way . * Behold me ! standing before thee , there upon the rock in Horeb , then shalt thou smite the rock and there shall come forth therefrom water , and the people shall drink . And Moses did so , in the sight of the elders of Israel . * So he called the name of the place , Massah , and Meribah , because of the fault-finding of the sons of Israel , and because of their putting Yahweh to the proof , saying , Is Yahweh in our midst or is he not ? * Then came in Amalek , and fought with Israel , in Rephidim . * And Moses said unto Joshua Choose for us men , and go forth , fight with Amalek , to-morrow , am , I , stationing myself upon the top of the hill , with the staff of God in my hand . * So Joshua did as Moses had said to him , to fight with Amalek , and Moses , Aaron and Hur , went up to the top of the hill . * And it shall be when Moses shall lift on high his hands , then shall Israel prevail , but when he shall let down his hands , then shall Amalek prevail . * But , the hands of Moses , were weary , so they took a stone , and put under him , and he sat thereupon , and , Aaron and Hur , upheld his handson this side , one and on that side , one , and so his hands became steady , until the going in of the sun . * So Joshua overthrew Amalek and his people , with the edge of the sword . * Then said Yahweh unto Moses Write this as a remembrancer in a book , and rehearse it in the ears of Jeshuathat I will , wipe out , the remembrance of Amalek , from under the heavens . * And Moses built an altar , and called the name thereof , Yahweh-nissi . * And he said Because of a hand against the throne of Yah , Yahweh hath war with Amalek , from generation to generation !
