1 igitur profecta omnis multitudo filiorum Israhel de deserto Sin
per mansiones suas iuxta sermonem Domini
castrametata est in Raphidim
ubi non erat aqua ad bibendum populo
2 qui iurgatus contra Mosen ait da nobis aquam ut bibamus
quibus respondit Moses
quid iurgamini contra me cur temptatis Dominum
3 sitivit ergo populus ibi pro aquae penuria
et murmuravit contra Mosen dicens
cur nos exire fecisti de Aegypto
ut occideres et nos et liberos nostros ac iumenta siti
4 clamavit autem Moses ad Dominum dicens quid faciam populo huic
adhuc pauxillum et lapidabunt me
5 ait Dominus ad Mosen antecede populum
et sume tecum de senibus Israhel
et virgam qua percussisti fluvium tolle in manu tua et vade
6 en ego stabo coram te ibi super petram
Horeb
percutiesque petram et exibit ex ea aqua ut bibat populus
fecit Moses ita coram senibus Israhel
7 et vocavit nomen loci illius Temptatio
propter iurgium filiorum Israhel
et quia temptaverunt Dominum dicentes
estne Dominus in nobis an non
8 venit autem Amalech et pugnabat contra Israhel in Raphidim
9 dixitque Moses ad Iosue elige viros et egressus pugna contra Amalech
cras ego stabo in vertice collis
habens virgam Dei in manu mea
10 fecit Iosue ut locutus ei erat Moses
et pugnavit contra Amalech
Moses autem et Aaron et Hur ascenderunt super verticem collis
11 cumque levaret Moses manus vincebat Israhel
sin autem paululum remisisset superabat Amalech
12 manus autem Mosi erant graves
sumentes igitur lapidem posuerunt subter eum in quo sedit
Aaron autem et Hur sustentabant manus eius ex utraque
parte
et factum est ut manus ipsius non lassarentur usque ad occasum solis
13 fugavitque Iosue Amalech et populum eius in ore gladii
14 dixit autem Dominus ad Mosen
scribe hoc ob monumentum in libro
et trade auribus Iosue
delebo enim memoriam Amalech sub caelo
15 aedificavitque Moses altare
et vocavit nomen eius Dominus exaltatio mea dicens
16 quia manus solii Domini et bellum Dei erit contra Amalech a generatione in generationem
1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink. 2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD? 3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? 4 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me. 5 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. 6 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. 7 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?
8 ¶ Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 9 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. 10 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. 11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 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. 13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14 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. 15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi: 16 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
