Chapter 17
Exod | DRC | 17:1 | Then all the multitude of the children of Israel setting forward from the desert 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. | |
Exod | DRC | 17:2 | 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? | |
Exod | DRC | 17:3 | 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? | |
Exod | DRC | 17:4 | And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: What shall I do to this people? Yet a little more and they will stone me. | |

Exod | DRC | 17:11 | And when Moses lifted up his hands, Israel overcame; but if he let them down a little, Amalec overcame. | |
Exod | DRC | 17:12 | 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 sunset. | |
Exod | DRC | 17:14 | 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. | |
Exod | DRC | 17:15 | And Moses built an altar; and called the name thereof, The Lord, my exaltation, saying: | |
