CHAP. XVII.
The people murmur again for
want of drink, the Lord
giveth them water out of a
rock. Moses lifting up his
hand in prayer, Amalec is
overcome.
1 Then all the multitude
of the children of
Israel setting forward from
the desart of Sin, by their
mansions, according to the
word of the Lord, encamped
in Raphidim, where there
was no water for the people to
drink.
2 And they chode with Moses,
and said: Give us water, that
we may drink. And Moses
answered them: Why chide
you with me? Wherefore do
you tempt the Lord?
3 So the people were thirsty
there for want of water,
and murmured against Moses,
saying: Why didst thou make
us go forth out of Egypt, to
kill us and our children, and
our beasts with thirst?
4 And Moses cryed to the
Lord, saying: What shall I
do to this people? Yet a little
more and they will stone
me.
5 And the Lord said to
Moses: Go before the people,
and take with thee of the
ancients of Israel: and take
in thy hand the rod wherewith
thou didst strike the river,
and go.
6 Behold I will stand there
before thee, upon the rock
Horeb: and thou shalt strike
the rock, and water shall come
out of it that the people may
drink. Moses did so before
the ancients of Israel:
7 And he called the name
of that place Temptation,
because of the chiding of the
children of Israel, and for
that they tempted the Lord,
saying: Is the Lord amongst
us or not?
8 And Amalec came, and
fought against Israel in Raphidim.
9 And Moses said to Josue:
Chuse out men: and go out
and sight against Amalec:
to-morrow I will stand on the
top of the hill having the
rod of God in my hand.
10 Josue did as Moses had
-- --
spoken, and he fought against
Amalec: but Moses and Aaron
and Hur went up upon
the top of the hill.
11 And when Moses lifted
up his hands, Israel overcame:
but if he let them down a
little, Amalec overcame.
12 And Moses's hands were
heavy: so they took a stone,
and put under him, and he sat
on it: and Aaron and Hur
stayed up his hands on both
sides. And it came to pass
that his hands were not weary
until sun-set.
13 And Josue put Amalec
and his people to flight, by
the edge of the sword.
14 And the Lord said to
Moses: Write this for a memorial
in a book, and deliver
it to the ears of Josue: for I
will destroy the memory of
Amalec from under heaven.
15 And Moses built an
altar: and called the name
thereof, The Lord my exaltation,
saying:
16 Because the hand of the
throne of the Lord, and the
war of the Lord shall be against
Amalec, from generation
to generation.
