Dual Panel1Then all<3605> the congregation<5712> of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> journeyed<5265> by stages<4550> from the wilderness<4057> of Sin<5512>, according<5921> to the command<6310> of the LORD<3068>, and camped<2583> at Rephidim<7508>, and there<369> was no<369> water<4325> for the people<5971> to drink<8354>.
2Therefore the people<5971> quarreled<7378> with Moses<4872> and said<559>, "Give<5414> us water<4325> that we may drink<8354>." And Moses<4872> said<559> to them, "Why<4100> do you quarrel<7378> with me? Why<4100> do you test<5254> the LORD<3068>?"
3But the people<5971> thirsted<6770> there<8033> for water<4325>; and they grumbled<3885> against<5921> Moses<4872> and said<559>, "Why<4100>, now<2088>, have you brought<5927> us up from Egypt<4714>, to kill<4191> us and our children<1121> and our livestock<4735> with thirst<6772>?"
4So Moses<4872> cried<6817> out to the LORD<3068>, saying<559>, "What<4100> shall I do<6213> to this<2088> people<5971>? A little<4592> more<5750> and they will stone<5619> me."
5Then the LORD<3068> said<559> to Moses<4872>, "Pass<5674> before<6440> the people<5971> and take<3947> with you some<4480> of the elders<2205> of Israel<3478>; and take<3947> in your hand<3027> your staff<4294> with which<834> you struck<5221> the Nile<2975>, and go<1980>.
6"Behold<2009>, I will stand<5975> before<6440> you there<8033> on the rock<6697> at Horeb<2722>; and you shall strike<5221> the rock<6697>, and water<4325> will come<3318> out of it, that the people<5971> may drink<8354>." And Moses<4872> did<6213> so<3651> in the sight<5869> of the elders<2205> of Israel<3478>.
7He named<7121><8034> the place<4725> Massah<4532> and Meribah<4809> because<5921> of the quarrel<7379> of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>, and because<5921> they tested<5254> the LORD<3068>, saying<559>, "Is the LORD<3068> among<7130> us, or<518> not?"
8Then Amalek<6002> came<935> and fought<3898> against<5973> Israel<3478> at Rephidim<7508>.
9So Moses<4872> said<559> to Joshua<3091>, "Choose<977> men<376> for us and go<3318> out, fight<3898> against Amalek<6002>. Tomorrow<4279> I will station<5324> myself<5324> on the top<7218> of the hill<1389> with the staff<4294> of God<430> in my hand<3027>."
10Joshua<3091> did<6213> as Moses<4872> told<559> him, and fought<3898> against Amalek<6002>; and Moses<4872>, Aaron<175>, and Hur<2354> went<5927> up to the top<7218> of the hill<1389>.
11So it came<1961> about when<3512> Moses<4872> held<7311> his hand<3027> up, that Israel<3478> prevailed<1396>, and when<3512> he let his hand<3027> down<5117>, Amalek<6002> prevailed<1396>.
12But Moses' hands<3027> were heavy<3515>. Then they took<3947> a stone<68> and put<7760> it under<8478> him, and he sat<3427> on it; and Aaron<175> and Hur<2354> supported<8551> his hands<3027>, one<259> on one<2088> side<2088> and one<259> on the other<2088>. Thus his hands<3027> were steady<530> until<5704> the sun<8121> set<935>.
13So Joshua<3091> overwhelmed<2522> Amalek<6002> and his people<5971> with the edge<6310> of the sword<2719>.
14Then the LORD<3068> said<559> to Moses<4872>, "Write<3789> this<2088> in a book<5612> as a memorial<2146> and recite<7760><241> it to Joshua<3091>, that I will utterly<4229> blot<4229> out the memory<2143> of Amalek<6002> from under<8478> heaven<8064>."
15Moses<4872> built<1129> an altar<4196> and named<7121><8034> it The LORD<3068> is My Banner<5251>;
16and he said<559>, "The LORD<3050> has sworn<3027><5921><3678>; the LORD<3068> will have war<4421> against Amalek<6002> from generation<1755> to generation<1755>."
