Exodus 17

1And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the commandment of Jehovah, and encamped in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.

1And all the company of the sons of Israel journey from the wilderness of Sin, on their journeyings, by the command of Jehovah, and encamp in Rephidim, and there is no water for the people to drink;

1Then all the multitude of the children of Israel setting forward from the desert of Sin, by their mansions, according to the word of the Lord, encamped in Raphidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.

2Wherefore the people strove with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why strive ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt Jehovah?

2and the people strive with Moses, and say, `Give us water, and we drink.' And Moses saith to them, `What? --ye strive with me, what? --ye try Jehovah?'

2And they chode with Moses, and said: Give us water, that we may drink. And Moses answered them: Why chide you with me? Wherefore do you tempt the Lord?

3And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?

3and the people thirst there for water, and the people murmur against Moses, and say, `Why <FI>is<Fi> this? --thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to put us to death, also our sons and our cattle, with thirst.'

3So the people were thirsty there for want of water, and murmured against Moses, saying: Why didst thou make us go forth out of Egypt, to kill us and our children, and our beasts with thirst?

4And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they are almost ready to stone me.

4And Moses crieth to Jehovah, saying, `What do I to this people? yet a little, and they have stoned me.'

4And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this people? Yet a little more and they will stone me.

5And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go.

5And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Pass over before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel, and thy rod with which thou hast smitten the River take in thy hand, and thou hast gone:

5And the Lord said to Moses: Go before the people, and take with thee of the ancients of Israel: and take in thy hand the rod wherewith thou didst strike the river, and go.

6Behold, 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.

6Lo, I am standing before thee there on the rock in Horeb, and thou hast smitten on the rock, and waters have come out from it, and the people have drunk.' And Moses doth so before the eyes of the elders of Israel,

6Behold I will stand there before thee, upon the rock Horeb, and thou shalt strike the rock, and water shall come out of it that the people may drink. Moses did so before the ancients of Israel:

7And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?

7and he calleth the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the `strife' of the sons of Israel, and because of their `trying' Jehovah, saying, `Is Jehovah in our midst or not?'

7And he called the name of that place Temptation, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and for that they tempted the Lord, saying: Is the Lord amongst us or not?

8Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

8And Amalek cometh, and fighteth with Israel in Rephidim,

8And Amalec came, and fought against Israel in Raphidim.

9And 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 my hand.

9and Moses saith unto Joshua, `Choose for us men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I am standing on the top of the hill, and the rod of God in my hand.'

9And Moses said to Josue: Choose out men; and go out and fight against Amalec: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill, having the rod of God in my hand.

10So 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.

10And Joshua doth as Moses hath said to him, to fight with Amalek, and Moses, Aaron, and Hur, have gone up <FI>to<Fi> the top of the height;

10Josue did as Moses had spoken, and he fought against Amalec; but Moses, and Aaron, and Hur, went up upon the top of the hill.

11And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

11and it hath come to pass, when Moses lifteth up his hand, that Israel hath been mighty, and when he letteth his hands rest, that Amalek hath been mighty.

11And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel overcame; but if he let them down a little, Amalec overcame.

12But 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.

12And the hands of Moses <FI>are<Fi> heavy, and they take a stone, and set <FI>it<Fi> under him, and he sitteth on it: and Aaron and Hur have taken hold on his hands, on this side one, and on that one, and his hands are stedfast till the going in of the sun;

12And Moses's hands were heavy: so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat on it: and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands on both sides. And it came to pass, that his hands were not weary until sunset.

13And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

13and Joshua weakeneth Amalek and his people by the mouth of the sword.

13And Josue put Amalec and his people to flight, by the edge of the sword.

14and Jehovah said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

14And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Write this, a memorial in a Book, and set <FI>it<Fi> in the ears of Joshua, that I do utterly wipe away the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens;'

14And the Lord said to Moses: Write this for a memorial in a book, and deliver it to the ears of Josue; for I will destroy the memory of Amalec from under heaven.

15And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi;

15and Moses buildeth an altar, and calleth its name Jehovah-Nissi,

15And Moses built an altar; and called the name thereof, The Lord, my exaltation, saying:

16and he said, Jehovah hath sworn: Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

16and saith, `Because a hand <FI>is<Fi> on the throne of Jah, war <FI>is<Fi> to Jehovah with Amalek from generation--generation.'

16Because the hand of the throne of the Lord, and the war of the Lord shall be against Amalec, from generation to generation.
