Exodus 17 — Scripture text (King James Version)
And all the congregation5712 of the children1121 of 3478 journeyed5265 from the wilderness4057 of Sin5512, after their journeys4550, according to the commandment6310 of the LORD3068, and pitched2583 in 7508: and there was no water4325 for the people5971 to drink8354. Wherefore the people5971 did chide7378 with 4872, and said559, Give5414 us water4325 that we may drink8354. And 4872 said559 unto them, Why chide7378 ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt5254 the LORD3068? And the people5971 thirsted6770 there for water4325; and the people5971 murmured3885 against 4872, and said559, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought5927 us up out of 4714, to kill4191 us and our children1121 and our cattle4735 with thirst6772? And 4872 cried6817 unto the LORD3068, saying559, What shall I do6213 unto this people5971? they be almost4592 ready to stone5619 me. And the LORD3068 said559 unto 4872, Go 5674 before6440 the people5971, and take3947 with thee of the elders2205 of 3478; and thy rod4294, wherewith thou smotest5221 the river2975, take3947 in thine hand3027, and go1980. Behold, I will stand5975 before6440 thee there upon the rock6697 in Horeb2722; and thou shalt smite5221 the rock6697, and there shall come3318 water4325 out of it, that the people5971 may drink8354. And 4872 did6213 so in the sight5869 of the elders2205 of 3478. And he called7121 the name8034 of the place4725 4532, and 4809, because of the chiding7379 of the children1121 of 3478, and because they tempted5254 the LORD3068, saying559, Is3426 the LORD3068 among7130 us, or not? : that is, Temptation : that is, Chiding, or, Strife Then came935 6002, and fought3898 with 3478 in 7508. And 4872 said559 unto 3091, Choose us out977 men582, and go out3318, fight3898 with 6002: to morrow4279 I will stand5324 the top7218 of the hill1389 with the rod4294 of God430 in mine hand3027. : called So 3091 did6213 as 4872 had said559 to him, and fought3898 with 6002: and 4872, 175, and Hur2354 went up5927 to the top7218 of the hill1389. And it came to pass, when 4872 held up7311 his hand3027, that 3478 prevailed1396: and when he let down5117 his hand3027, 6002 prevailed1396. But '4872 hands3027 were heavy3515; and they took3947 a stone68, and 7760 it under him, and he sat3427 thereon; and 175 and Hur2354 stayed up8551 his hands3027, the one the one side259, and the other the other side259; and his hands3027 were steady530 until the going down935 of the sun8121. And 3091 discomfited2522 6002 and his people5971 with the edge6310 of the 2719. And the LORD3068 said559 unto 4872, Write3789 this for a memorial2146 in a book5612, and rehearse7760 it in the ears241 of 3091: for I will utterly4229 out4229 the remembrance2143 of 6002 from under heaven8064. And 4872 built1129 an altar4196, and called7121 the name8034 of it Jehovahnissi3071: Jehovahnissi: that is, The LORD my banner For he said559, Because the LORD3050 hath sworn3027 3676 that the LORD3068 will have war4421 with 6002 from generation1755 to generation1755. Because: or, Because the hand of is against the throne of the LORD, therefore, etc the LORD hath: Heb. the hand upon the throne of the LORD
