Exodus 17:8

Compare all

6 ^aBehold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

7 So he called the name of the place ^aMassah and Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they³ tempted the Lord, saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”

Victory over the Amalekites

8 ^aNow Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

9 And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with ^athe rod of God in my hand.”

10 So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

11 And so it was, when Moses ^aheld up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
