17:2

Wherefore the people5971 did chide7378 with Moses,4872 and said,559 Give5414 us water4325 that we may drink.8354 And Moses4872 said559 unto them, Why chide7378 ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt5254 Yahweh?3068

17:3

And the people5971 thirsted6770 there for water;4325 and the people5971 murmured3885 against Moses,4872 and said,559 Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up5927 out of Egypt,4714 to kill4191 us and our children1121 and our cattle4735 with thirst?6772

17:4

And Yahweh3068 said559 unto Moses,4872 Go on5674 before6440 the people,5971 and take3947 with thee of the elders2205 of Israel;3478 and thy rod,4294 wherewith thou smotest5221 the river,2975 take3947 in thine hand,3027 and go.1980

17:6

Behold, I will stand5975 before6440 thee there upon the rock6697 in Horeb;2722 and thou shalt smite5221 the rock,6697 and there shall come water4325 out3318 of it, that the people5971 may drink.8354 And Moses4872 did6213 so in the sight5869 of the elders2205 of Israel.3478

17:7

And he called7121 the name8034 of the place4725 Massah,4532 and Meribah,4809 because of the chiding7379 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 and because they tempted5254 Yahweh,3068 saying,559 Is3426 Yahweh3068 among7130 us, or not?

And it came to pass, when Moses4872 held up7311 his hand,3027 that Israel3478 prevailed:1396 and when he let down5117 his hand,3027 Amalek6002 prevailed.1396

17:12

But Moses'4872 hands3027 were heavy;3515 and they took3947 a stone,68 and put7760 it under him, and he sat3427 thereon; and Aaron175 and Hur2354 stayed up8551 his hands,3027 the one259 on the one side, and the other259 on the other side; and his hands3027 were steady530 until the going down935 of the sun.8121
