          DASV: Exodus 17    

1 Now the whole Israelite community journeyed from the
wilderness of Sin, moving from place to place according
to the instruction of the LORD. They camped in Rephidim
but there was no water for the people to drink.
2 So the people quarreled with Moses and demanded,
"Give us water to drink." Moses responded to them,
"Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?"
3 But the people were thirsty for water, so the people murmured
against Moses and said, "Why did you bring us up out of Egypt
to kill us, our children and our cattle with thirst?"

4 Then Moses cried to the LORD, "What shall I do with this people?
They are just about ready to stone me."
5 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go ahead of the people and take
with you some of the elders of Israel along with your staff
in your hand, with which you struck the Nile, and go.
6 Look, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb and you
will strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the
people may drink." Then Moses did it in the sight of the elders
of Israel.
7 So he called the name of the place Massah (test), and Meribah
(arguing), because there the Israelites quarreled and tested the
LORD, saying, "Is the LORD among us, or not?"

8 Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 So Moses said to Joshua, "Choose some men to go out and
fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the
hill with the staff of God in my hand."
10 Joshua did as Moses instructed him and fought with Amalek. Moses,
Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 Whenever Moses held up his hand Israel would win but when he
let his hand down Amalek would win.
12 But Moses' hands became heavy so they took a stone and propped it
up under him for him to sit on. Then Aaron and Hur held up his hands
one on the one side and the other on the other side. So his hands
were steady until the sun went down.
13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the sword.

14 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this down on a scroll as a
reminder and recite it in the ears of Joshua: 'I will utterly blot
out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.'"
15 Moses built an altar and called the name of it Yahweh-nissi
(the LORD is my banner);
16 for he said, "A hand was lifted up to the throne of the LORD
because the LORD will make war with Amalek from generation
to generation."
