Exodus 17

17
Water in the Rock
1Then all the congregation of the children of Israel moved on from the Wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. 2Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water so we may [have something to] drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you tempt the Lord and try His patience?” 3But the people were thirsty for water; and the people murmured against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us up from Egypt to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?” 4So Moses cried out to the Lord for help, saying, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.” 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 the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at #17:6 Horeb may refer to the mountain range of which Sinai is an individual mountain.Horeb; there you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may [have something to] drink.” And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. [1 Cor 10:4] 7He named the place [where this miracle occurred] Massah (test) and #17:7 A similar incident occurred when the Israelites were in the Wilderness of Zin at Meribah-kadesh (Num 20:8-13; Deut 32:50-52). On that occasion Moses disobeyed God’s specific instruction and paid a terrible price for his action.Meribah (contention) because of the quarreling of the sons of Israel, and because they tested the [patience of the] Lord, saying, “Is the Lord among us, or not?”
Amalek Fought
8Then #17:8 These were a group of nomads descended from Amalek, a grandson of Esau, Jacob’s twin brother.Amalek [and his people] came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. 9So Moses said to #17:9 Joshua, leader of the tribe of Ephraim, was one of the great warriors of the OT and was an attendant to and the successor of Moses.Joshua, “Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek [and his people]. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” 10So Joshua did as Moses said, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and #17:10 According to Josephus, Hur was the husband of Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron.Hur went up to the hilltop. 11Now when Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and when he lowered his hand [due to fatigue], Amalek prevailed. 12But Moses’ hands were heavy and he grew tired. So they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side and one on the other side; so it was that his hands were steady until the sun set. 13So Joshua overwhelmed and defeated #17:13 These nomadic people were the descendants of Esau.Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this in the book as a memorial and #17:14 Lit put in the ears of.recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly wipe out the memory of Amalek [and his people] from under heaven.” [1 Sam 15:2-8] 15And Moses built an altar and named it #17:15 Heb YHWH (Yahweh)-Nissi.The Lord Is My Banner; 16saying, “The Lord has sworn [an oath]; the Lord will have war against [the people of] Amalek from generation to generation.”
