02:017:004 And Moses cried unto the lord, saying,
What shall I do unto
this
people? they be almost ready to stone me.
02:017:005 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.
02:017:006 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.
02:017:007 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?
02:017:008 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
02:017:009 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.
02:017:010 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.
02:017:011 And it came to pass, when Moses held up
his hand, that Israel
prevailed:
and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
02:017:012 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.
02:017:013 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people
with the edge of
the
sword.
02:017:014 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.
02:017:015 And Moses built an altar, and called the
name of it
Jehovahnissi:
02:017:016 For he said, Because the lord hath
sworn that the lord will
have
war with Amalek from generation to generation.
02:018:001 When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’
father in law, heard
of
all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his
people,
and
that the lord had brought Israel out of Egypt;
02:018:002 Then Jethro, Moses’ father in law,
took Zipporah, Moses’ wife,
after
he had sent her back,
02:018:003 And her two sons; of which the name of
the one was Gershom;
for
he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
