Chapter 17

1

AND all the assembly of the children of Yashar'el journeyed from the wilderness of Ciyn, after their journeys, according to the commandment of Yahuah, and pitched in Rephiydiym: and there was no water for the people to drink.

2

Wherefore the people did chide with Mosheh, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Mosheh said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt Yahuah?

3

And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Mosheh, and said, Wherefore is this that you have brought us up out of Mitsrayim, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?

4

And Mosheh cried unto El-Yahuah, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.

5

And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Go on before the people, and take with you of the elders of Yashar'el; and your rod, wherewith you smote the river, take in your hand, and go.

6

Behold, I will stand before you there upon the rock in Chorev; and you shall smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Mosheh did so in the sight of the elders of Yashar'el.

7

And he called the name of the place Maccah, and Meriyvah, because of the chiding of the children of Yashar'el, and because they tempted Yahuah, saying, Is Yahuah among us, or not?

8

Then came Amaleq, and fought with Yashar'el in Rephiydiym.

9

And Mosheh said unto El-Yahusha, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amaleq: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of Elohiym in my hand.

10

So Yahusha did as Mosheh had said to him, and fought with Amaleq: and Mosheh, Aharon, and Chur went up to the top of the hill.

11

And it came to pass, when Mosheh held up his hand, that Yashar'el prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amaleq prevailed.

12

But Mosheh's hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aharon and Chur 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.

13

And Yahusha discomfited Amaleq and his people with the edge of the sword.

14

And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, Write this for a memorial in a cepher, and rehearse it in the ears of Yahusha: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amaleq from under the heavens.

15

And Mosheh built an altar, and called the name of it Yahuah Nicciy:

16

For he said, Because Yah has sworn that Yahuah will have war with Amaleq from generation to generation.
