Shemoth (Exodus) 17

Exod 17:1 And all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl set out on
their journey from the Wilderness of Sin, according to the command of יהוה,
and camped in Rephiḏim. And there was no water for the people to drink.
Exod 17:2 Therefore the people strove with Mosheh, and said, “Give us
water to drink.” And Mosheh said to them, “Why do you strive with me?
Why do you try יהוה ?”
Exod 17:3 And the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled
against Mosheh, and said, “Why did you bring us out of Mitsrayim, to kill us
and our children and our livestock with thirst?”
Exod 17:4 Then Mosheh cried out to יהוה, saying, “What am I to do with this
people? Yet a little and they shall stone me!”
Exod 17:5 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Pass over before the people, and take
with you some of the elders of Yisra’ĕl. And take in your hand your rod with
which you smote the river, and go.
Exod 17:6 “See, I am standing before you there on the rock in Ḥorĕḇ. And
you shall smite the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people shall
drink.” And Mosheh did so before the eyes of the elders of Yisra’ĕl.
Exod 17:7 And he called the name of the place Massah and Meriḇah,
because of the ‘strife’ of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and because they ‘tried’
יהוה, saying, “Is יהוה in our midst or not?”
Exod 17:8 And Amalĕq came and fought with Yisra’ĕl in Rephiḏim.
Exod 17:9 And Mosheh said to Yehoshua, “Choose for us men and go out,
fight with Amalĕq. Tomorrow I am stationing myself on the top of the hill
with the rod of Elohim in my hand.”
Exod 17:10 And Yehoshua did as Mosheh said to him, to fight with Amalĕq.
And Mosheh, Aharon, and Ḥur went up to the top of the hill.
Exod 17:11 And it came to be, when Mosheh held up his hand, that Yisra’ĕl
prevailed. And when he let down his hand, Amalĕq prevailed.
Exod 17:12 But Mosheh’s hands were heavy, so they took a stone and put it
under him, and he sat on it. And Aharon and Ḥur supported his hands, one on
one side, and the other on the other side. And his hands were steady until the
going down of the sun.
Exod 17:13 And Yehoshua defeated Amalĕq and his people with the edge of
the sword.
Exod 17:14 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Write this for a remembrance in the
book and recite it in the hearing of Yehoshua, that I shall completely blot out
the remembrance of Amalĕq from under the heavens.”
Exod 17:15 And Mosheh built an altar and called its name, יהוה Nissi,
Exod 17:16 for he said, “Because a hand is on the throne of Yah, יהוה is to
fight against Amalĕq, from generation to generation.”
