1Und die ganze Gemeinde der Israeliten zog aus der Wüste Sin weiter ihre Tagereisen, wie ihnen der HERR befahl, und sie lagerten sich in Refidim. Da hatte das Volk kein Wasser zu trinken. (4Mo 33,12)2Und sie haderten mit Mose und sprachen: Gib uns Wasser, dass wir trinken. Mose sprach zu ihnen: Was hadert ihr mit mir? Warum versucht ihr den HERRN? (5Mo 6,16)3Als aber dort das Volk nach Wasser dürstete, murrten sie wider Mose und sprachen: Warum hast du uns aus Ägypten ziehen lassen, dass du uns, unsere Kinder und unser Vieh vor Durst sterben lässt? (2Mo 15,24; 2Mo 16,2; 4Mo 14,2; 4Mo 17,6)4Mose schrie zum HERRN und sprach: Was soll ich mit dem Volk tun? Es fehlt nicht viel, so werden sie mich noch steinigen. (4Mo 14,10)5Der HERR sprach zu ihm: Geh vor dem Volk her und nimm einige von den Ältesten Israels mit dir und nimm deinen Stab in deine Hand, mit dem du den Nil schlugst, und geh hin. (2Mo 7,20)6Siehe, ich will dort vor dir stehen auf dem Fels am Horeb. Da sollst du an den Fels schlagen, so wird Wasser herauslaufen, dass das Volk trinke. Und Mose tat so vor den Augen der Ältesten von Israel. (4Mo 20,11; 1Kor 10,4)7Da nannte er den Ort Massa und Meriba, weil die Israeliten dort gehadert und den HERRN versucht und gesagt hatten: Ist der HERR unter uns oder nicht? (Ps 95,8; Mi 3,11)
Sieg über die Amalekiter
8Da kam Amalek und kämpfte gegen Israel in Refidim. (1Mo 36,12; 1Mo 36,16)9Da sprach Mose zu Josua: Erwähle uns Männer, zieh aus und kämpfe gegen Amalek. Morgen will ich oben auf dem Hügel stehen mit dem Stab Gottes in meiner Hand. (4Mo 13,8; 4Mo 13,16)10Und Josua tat, wie Mose ihm sagte, und kämpfte gegen Amalek. Mose aber und Aaron und Hur gingen auf die Höhe des Hügels. (2Mo 24,14)11Und wenn Mose seine Hand emporhielt, siegte Israel; wenn er aber seine Hand sinken ließ, siegte Amalek.12Aber Mose wurden die Hände schwer; darum nahmen sie einen Stein und legten ihn hin, dass er sich daraufsetzte. Aaron aber und Hur stützten ihm die Hände, auf jeder Seite einer. So blieben seine Hände erhoben, bis die Sonne unterging.13Und Josua überwältigte Amalek und sein Volk durch des Schwertes Schärfe.14Und der HERR sprach zu Mose: Schreibe dies zum Gedächtnis in ein Buch und präge es Josua ein; denn ich will die Erinnerung an Amalek unter dem Himmel austilgen. (5Mo 25,17; 1Sam 15,2)15Und Mose baute einen Altar und nannte ihn: Der HERR mein Feldzeichen.16Und er sprach: Die Hand an den Thron des HERRN! Der HERR führt Krieg gegen Amalek von Kind zu Kindeskind. (Jer 3,17)
1All 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. (2Mo 16,1; 4Mo 33,12; 4Mo 33,14)2Therefore 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 test the Lord?” (4Mo 20,3; 5Mo 6,16; Ps 78,18; Ps 78,41; Ps 95,8; Jes 7,12; Mt 4,7; 1Kor 10,9; Hebr 3,8)3But the people thirsted there for water, and 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?” (2Mo 15,24; 2Mo 16,2)4So Moses cried to the Lord, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.” (4Mo 14,10; Jos 9,25; 1Sam 30,6; 1Kön 21,13; 2Chr 24,21; Mt 23,37; Lk 13,34; Joh 8,59; Joh 10,31; Joh 11,8; Apg 7,58; Apg 14,5; Apg 14,19; 2Kor 11,25; Hebr 11,37)5And 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 which you struck the Nile, and go. (2Mo 7,20)6Behold, 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. (4Mo 20,8; 5Mo 8,15; Neh 9,15; Ps 78,15; Ps 78,20; Ps 105,41; Ps 114,8; Jes 43,20; Jes 48,21; 1Kor 10,4)7And he called the name of the place Massah[1] and Meribah,[2] because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?” (4Mo 20,13; Ps 81,7; Ps 95,8)
Israel Defeats Amalek
8Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. (5Mo 25,17; 1Sam 15,2)9So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” (2Mo 4,20; 2Mo 24,13; 2Mo 32,17; 2Mo 33,11)10So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. (2Mo 17,9; 2Mo 24,14; 2Mo 31,2)11Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. (1Tim 2,8)12But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and 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. (2Mo 17,10)13And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword. (2Mo 17,9)14Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” (2Mo 17,9; 4Mo 24,20; 5Mo 25,19; 1Sam 15,3; 1Sam 15,7; 1Sam 30,1; 1Sam 30,17; 2Sam 8,12)15And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord Is My Banner, (Ri 6,24)16saying, “A hand upon the throne[3] of the Lord! The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.” (2Mo 17,14)
2.Mose 17
King James Version
1And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.2Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?3And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?4And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.5And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.6Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.7And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?8Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.9And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.10So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.11And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.12But Moses'hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.13And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.14And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.15And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:16For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
