Exodus 17
Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Par ▾ 
1And all the assembly of the children of Israel picked up from the wilderness of Sin for their journey upon the word of the mouth of LORD JEHOVAH, and they camped in Raphidin, and there was no water that the people would drink. 2And the people disputed with Moshe and they said to him, “Give us water we will drink”; Moshe said to them, “Why are you arguing with me and why are you tempting LORD JEHOVAH?” 3And there the people were thirsty for water and the people complained against Moshe and they said to him, “Why have you brought us out from Egypt to kill us, us and our children and our animals with thirst?” 4And Moshe prayed before LORD JEHOVAH and he said, “What shall I do for this people, for in a little bit they will stone me?” 5And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe: “Pass before the people and take with you some Elders of Israel, and take your staff in your hand with which you struck the river, and go. 6And behold, I am standing there before you on the flint in Khoreeb, and strike the flint and water shall come out from it and the people will drink.” And Moshe did in this way before the eyes of the Elders of the children of Israel. 7And he called the name of that country Nasa and Meriba, because the children of Israel contended and because they tested LORD JEHOVAH and they said, “If LORD JEHOVAH is with us or not?”

8And Amaleq came to make war with Israel in Raphidin. 9And Moshe said to Yeshua, “Choose for you men and come out; we shall make war with Amaleq tomorrow, and behold, I am standing on the top of the hill and the staff of God is in my hand. 10And Yeshua did according to what Moshe said to him and he went on to make war with Amaleq, and Moshe and Ahron and Khur came up to the top the hill. 11And when Moshe was raising his hands, Israel was prevailing, and when he was resting his hands, Amaleq was prevailing. 12And the hands of Moshe were weary and they took a stone and they placed it under him and he sat down upon it and Ahron and Khur were upholding his hands, one from here and one from there, and his hands were in steadfastness until the sun had set. 13And Yeshua shattered Amaleq and his people by the mouth of the sword.

14And LORD JEHOVAH said to Moshe, “Write this memorial in a book and put it before Yeshua, son of Nun, because certainly I blot out the memory of Amaleq from under Heaven. 15And Moshe built an altar and he called its name Marya Nassi LORD JEHOVAH Tested. 16And he said, “Behold, the hand on the throne of war with LORD JEHOVAH in Amaleq from the generation of generations.”
