耶和华命摩西击磐出水

17 以色列全会众都遵耶和华的吩咐,按着站口从的旷野往前行,在利非订安营。百姓没有水喝, 所以与摩西争闹,说:“给我们水喝吧!”摩西对他们说:“你们为什么与我争闹,为什么试探耶和华呢?” 百姓在那里甚渴,要喝水,就向摩西发怨言,说:“你为什么将我们从埃及领出来,使我们和我们的儿女并牲畜都渴死呢?” 摩西就呼求耶和华说:“我向这百姓怎样行呢?他们几乎要拿石头打死我。” 耶和华对摩西说:“你手里拿着你先前击打河水的杖,带领以色列的几个长老,从百姓面前走过去。 我必在何烈的磐石那里,站在你面前。你要击打磐石,从磐石里必有水流出来,使百姓可以喝。”摩西就在以色列的长老眼前这样行了。 他给那地方起名叫玛撒[a],又叫米利巴[b],因以色列人争闹,又因他们试探耶和华,说:“耶和华是在我们中间不是?”

战败亚玛力人

那时,亚玛力人来在利非订,和以色列人争战。 摩西约书亚说:“你为我们选出人来,出去和亚玛力人争战。明天我手里要拿着神的杖,站在山顶上。” 10 于是约书亚照着摩西对他所说的话行,和亚玛力人争战。摩西亚伦户珥都上了山顶。 11 摩西何时举手,以色列人就得胜;何时垂手,亚玛力人就得胜。 12 摩西的手发沉,他们就搬石头来,放在他以下,他就坐在上面。亚伦户珥扶着他的手,一个在这边,一个在那边,他的手就稳住,直到日落的时候。 13 约书亚用刀杀了亚玛力王和他的百姓。 14 耶和华对摩西说:“我要将亚玛力的名号从天下全然涂抹了,你要将这话写在书上做纪念,又念给约书亚听。” 15 摩西筑了一座坛,起名叫耶和华尼西[c] 16 又说:“耶和华已经起了誓,必世世代代和亚玛力人争战。”

Water from the Rock(A)

17 Then (B)all the congregation of the children of Israel set out on their journey from the Wilderness of (C)Sin, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to (D)drink. (E)Therefore the people contended with Moses, and said, “Give us water, that we may drink.”

So Moses said to them, “Why do you contend with me? Why do you (F)tempt the Lord?”

And the people thirsted there for water, and the people (G)complained against Moses, and said, “Why is it you have brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our (H)livestock with thirst?”

So Moses (I)cried out to the Lord, saying, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to (J)stone[a] me!”

And the Lord said to Moses, (K)“Go on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel. Also take in your hand your rod with which (L)you struck the river, and go. (M)Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.”

And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. So he called the name of the place (N)Massah[b] and [c]Meribah, because of the contention of the children of Israel, and because they [d]tempted the Lord, saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”

Victory over the Amalekites(O)

(P)Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with (Q)the rod of God in my hand.” 10 So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 And so it was, when Moses (R)held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses’ hands became [e]heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur 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. 13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

14 Then the Lord said to Moses, (S)“Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that (T)I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.” 15 And Moses built an altar and called its name, [f]The-Lord-Is-My-Banner; 16 for he said, “Because [g]the Lord has (U)sworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

Water from the Rock

17 (A)All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. (B)Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you (C)test the Lord?” But the people thirsted there for water, and (D)the people grumbled against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?” So Moses cried to the Lord, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready (E)to stone me.” And the Lord said to Moses, “Pass on before the people, taking with you some of the elders of Israel, and take in your hand the staff with (F)which you struck the Nile, and go. (G)Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.” And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. And he called the name of the place (H)Massah[a] and (I)Meribah,[b] because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”

Israel Defeats Amalek

(J)Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. So Moses said to (K)Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with (L)the staff of God in my hand.” 10 So (M)Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and (N)Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 Whenever Moses (O)held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses' hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and (P)Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13 And (Q)Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword.

14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of (R)Joshua, that (S)I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” 15 And Moses (T)built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord Is My Banner, 16 saying, “A hand upon the throne[c] of the Lord! (U)The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

L'acqua scaturita dalla roccia di Oreb

17 (A)Poi tutta la comunità dei figli d'*Israele partí dal deserto di Sin, marciando a tappe secondo gli ordini del Signore. Si accampò a Refidim, ma non c'era acqua da bere per il popolo. Allora il popolo protestò contro *Mosè e disse: «Dacci dell'acqua da bere». Mosè rispose loro: «Perché protestate contro di me? Perché tentate il Signore?» Là il popolo patí la sete e mormorò contro Mosè, dicendo: «Perché ci hai fatto uscire dall'Egitto per far morire di sete noi, i nostri figli e il nostro bestiame?» Mosè gridò al Signore, dicendo: «Che cosa devo fare per questo popolo? Ancora un po', e mi lapideranno». Allora il Signore disse a Mosè: «Mettiti di fronte al popolo e prendi con te alcuni degli *anziani d'Israele; prendi anche in mano il bastone col quale hai percosso il Fiume e va'. Ecco io starò là davanti a te, sulla roccia che è in Oreb; tu colpirai la roccia: ne scaturirà dell'acqua e il popolo berrà». Mosè fece cosí in presenza degli anziani d'Israele, e a quel luogo mise il nome di Massa[a] e Meriba[b] a causa della protesta dei figli d'Israele, e perché avevano tentato il Signore, dicendo: «Il Signore è in mezzo a noi, sí o no?»

Vittoria su Amalec

(B)Allora venne *Amalec per combattere contro Israele a Refidim. E Mosè disse a *Giosuè: «Scegli per noi alcuni uomini ed esci a combattere contro Amalec; domani io starò sulla vetta del colle con il bastone di Dio in mano». 10 Giosuè fece come Mosè gli aveva detto e combatté contro Amalec; e Mosè, *Aaronne e Cur salirono sulla vetta del colle. 11 E quando Mosè teneva le mani alzate, Israele vinceva; e quando le abbassava, vinceva Amalec. 12 Ma le mani di Mosè si facevano pesanti. Allora essi presero una pietra, gliela posero sotto ed egli si sedette; Aaronne e Cur gli tenevano le mani alzate, uno da una parte e l'altro dall'altra. Cosí le sue mani rimasero ferme fino al tramonto del sole. 13 E Giosuè sconfisse Amalec e la sua gente passandoli a fil di spada.

14 Il Signore disse a Mosè: «Scrivi questo fatto in un libro, perché se ne conservi il ricordo, e fa' sapere a Giosuè che io cancellerò interamente sotto il cielo la memoria di Amalec».

15 Allora Mosè costruí un altare che chiamò «il Signore è la mia bandiera»; e disse: 16 «Una mano s'è alzata contro il trono del Signore, perciò il Signore farà guerra ad Amalec di generazione in generazione».
