1 以色列全会众都遵耶和华的吩咐,按着站从汛的旷野往前行,在利非订安营。百姓没有

2 所以与摩西争闹,我们罢!摩西对他们:你们为甚麽与我争闹?为甚麽试探耶和华呢?

3 百姓在那里甚,要喝,就向摩西发怨言,:你为甚麽将我们埃及领出来,使我们我们的儿女并牲畜都呢?

4 摩西就呼求耶和华:我向这百姓怎样行呢?他们几乎要拿石头打死我。

5 耶和华摩西:你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。

6 我必在何烈的磐石那里,站在你面前。你要击打磐石,从磐石里必有流出来,使百姓可以摩西就在以色列的长老眼前这样行了。

7 他给那地方起名玛撒(就是试探的意思),又米利巴(就是争闹的意思);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?

8 那时,亚玛力人在利非订,和以色列人争战。

9 摩西对约书亚:你为我们选出人来,出去和亚玛力人争战。明天我里要拿着的杖,站在山顶上。

10 於是约书亚照着摩西对他所的话行,和亚玛力人争战。摩西亚伦,与户珥都上了山顶。

11 摩西何时举以色列人就得胜,何时垂,亚玛力人就得胜。

12 摩西的发沉,他们就搬石头,放在他以,他就在上面。亚伦与户珥扶着他的个在这边,个在那边,他的就稳住,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 耶和华摩西:我要将亚玛力的名号从全然涂抹了;你要将这话上作纪念,又念给约亚听。

15 摩西筑了一座,起名耶和华尼西(就是耶和华是我旌旗的意思),

16 耶和华已经起了誓,必世世代和亚玛力人争战。

8623. And Moses built an altar. That this signifies for what is holy of worship and of memory, is evident from the signification of “an altar,” as being the chief representative of the Lord (see n. 2777, 2811, 4489), and consequently what is holy of worship (n. 4541). That it is also for memory, is because in ancient times mounds were piled up as a witness unto and in memory of something that was to stand firm, and which they were to remember; and afterward also altars (n. 4192); in the present case in memory of the fact that because the hand of Amalek was against the throne of Jah, Jehovah would have war against him from generation to generation. That altars were erected for witness and memory, is also evident from the altar that the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh built at the Jordan, concerning which they said to the sons of Israel, who on that account were disposed to make war against them, that they built it to be a witness that they would not worship Jehovah by burnt-offerings and sacrifices upon this altar, but upon the altar that was before the tabernacle; and therefore they called that altar “a witness between us and you that Jehovah is God” (Josh. 22:10-34).

9 Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it on the standard: and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of brass, he lived.
