1E toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel partiu do deserto de Sim, por suas jornadas, ao mandamento do SENHOR, e assentaram o acampamento em Refidim: e não havia água para que o povo bebesse. 2E brigou o povo com Moisés, e disseram: Dá-nos água que bebamos. E Moisés lhes disse: Por que brigais comigo? Por que tentais ao SENHOR? 3Assim que o povo teve ali sede de água, e murmurou contra Moisés, e disse: Por que nos fizeste subir do Egito para matar-nos de sede a nós, e a nossos filhos e a nossos gados? 4Então clamou Moisés ao SENHOR, dizendo: Que farei com este povo? Daqui um pouco me apedrejarão. 5E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Passa diante do povo, e toma contigo dos anciãos de Israel; e toma também em tua mão tua vara, com que feriste o rio, e vai: 6Eis que eu estou diante de ti ali sobre a rocha em Horebe; e ferirás a rocha, e sairão dela águas, e beberá o povo. E Moisés o fez assim em presença dos anciãos de Israel. 7E chamou o nome daquele lugar Massá e Meribá, pela briga dos filhos de Israel, e porque tentaram ao SENHOR, dizendo: Está, pois, o SENHOR entre nós, ou não? 8E veio Amaleque e lutou com Israel em Refidim. 9E disse Moisés a Josué: Escolhe para nós homens, e sai, luta com Amaleque: amanhã eu estarei sobre o cume do morro, e a vara de Deus em minha mão. 10E fez Josué como lhe disse Moisés, lutando com Amaleque; e Moisés e Arão e Hur subiram ao cume do morro. 11E sucedia que quando erguia Moisés sua mão, Israel prevalecia; mas quando ele baixava sua mão, prevalecia Amaleque. 12E as mãos de Moisés estavam pesadas; pelo que tomaram uma pedra, e puseram-na debaixo dele, e se sentou sobre ela; e Arão e Hur sustentavam suas mãos, o um de uma parte e o outro de outra; assim houve em suas mãos firmeza até que se pôs o sol. 13E Josué derrotou a Amaleque e a seu povo a fio de espada. 14E o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Escreve isto para memória em um livro, e dize a Josué que de todo tenho de apagar a memória de Amaleque de debaixo do céu. 15E Moisés edificou um altar, e chamou seu nome O SENHOR é minha bandeira; 16E disse: Porquanto há mão sobre o trono do SENHOR, o SENHOR terá guerra com Amaleque de geração em geração.
1All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to Yahweh’s commandment, and encamped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink. 2Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Yahweh?” 3The people were thirsty for water there; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?” 4Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.” 5Yahweh said to Moses, “Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the rod in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7He called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested Yahweh, saying, “Is Yahweh among us, or not?” 8Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 9Moses said to Joshua, “Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God’s rod in my hand.” 10So Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11When Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed. When he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side. His hands were steady until sunset. 13Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14Yahweh said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky.” 15Moses built an altar, and called its name Yahweh our Banner. 16He said, “Yah has sworn: ‘Yahweh will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.’”
1Daarna toog de ganse vergadering van de kinderen Israels, naar hun dagreizen, uit de woestijn Sin, op het bevel des HEEREN, en zij legerden zich te Rafidim. Daar nu was geen water voor het volk om te drinken. 2Toen twistte het volk met Mozes, en zeide: Geeft gijlieden ons water, dat wij drinken! Mozes dan zeide tot hen: Wat twist gij met mij? Waarom verzoekt gij den HEERE? 3Toen nu het volk aldaar dorstte naar water, zo murmureerde het volk tegen Mozes, en het zeide: Waartoe hebt gij ons nu uit Egypte doen optrekken, opdat gij mij, en mijn kinderen, en mijn vee, van dorst deed sterven? 4Zo riep Mozes tot den HEERE, zeggende: Wat zal ik dit volk doen? Er feilt niet veel aan, of zij zullen mij stenigen. 5Toen zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Ga heen voor het aangezicht des volks, en neem met u uit de oudsten van Israel; en neem uw staf in uw hand, waarmede gij de rivier sloegt, en ga heen. 6Zie, Ik zal aldaar voor uw aangezicht op den rotssteen in Horeb staan; en gij zult op den rotssteen slaan, zo zal er water uitgaan, dat het volk drinke. Mozes nu deed alzo voor de ogen der oudsten van Israel. 7En hij noemde den naam dier plaats Massa en Meriba, om de twist der kinderen Israels, en omdat zij den HEERE verzocht hadden, zeggende: Is de HEERE in het midden van ons, of niet? 8Toen kwam Amalek en streed tegen Israel in Rafidim. 9Mozes dan zeide tot Jozua: Kies ons mannen, en trek uit, strijd tegen Amalek; morgen zal ik op de hoogte des heuvels staan, en de staf Gods zal in mijn hand zijn. 10Jozua nu deed, als Mozes hem gezegd had, strijdende tegen Amalek; doch Mozes, Aaron en Hur klommen op de hoogte des heuvels. 11En het geschiedde, terwijl Mozes zijn hand ophief, zo was Israel de sterkste; maar terwijl hij zijn hand nederliet, zo was Amalek de sterkste. 12Doch de handen van Mozes werden zwaar; daarom namen zij een steen, en legden dien onder hem, dat hij daarop zat; en Aaron en Hur onderstutten zijn handen, de een op deze, en ander op de andere zijde; alzo waren zijn handen gewis, totdat de zon onderging. 13Alzo dat Jozua Amalek en zijn volk krenkte, door de scherpte des zwaards. 14Toen zeide de HEERE tot Mozes: Schrijf dit ter gedachtenis in een boek, en leg het in de oren van Jozua, dat Ik de gedachtenis van Amalek geheel uitdelgen zal van onder den hemel. 15En Mozes bouwde een altaar; en hij noemde deszelfs naam: De HEERE is mijn Banier! 16En hij zeide: Dewijl de hand op den troon des HEEREN is, zo zal de oorlog des HEEREN tegen Amalek zijn, van geslacht tot geslacht!
