1 Så brød hele Israels Menighed op fra Sins Ørken og drog fra Lejrplads til Lejrplads efter HE ENs Bud. Men da de lejrede sig i efidim, havde Folket intet Vand at drikke.

2 Da kivedes Folket med Moses og sagde: "Skaf os Vand at drikke!" Men Moses svarede dem: "Hvorfor kives I med mig, hvorfor frister I HE EN?"

3 Og Folket tørstede der efter Vand og knurrede mod Moses og sagde: "Hvorfor har du ført os op fra Ægypten? Mon for at lade os og vore Børn og vore Hjorde af Tørst?"

4 Da råbte Moses til HE EN: "Hvad skal jeg gøre med dette Folk? Det er ikke langt fra, at de vil stene mig."

5 Men HE EN sagde til Moses: "Træd frem for Folket med nogle af Israels Ældste og tag den Stav, du slog Nilen med, i din Hånd og kom så!

6 Se, jeg vil stå foran dig der på Klippen ved Horeb, og når du slår på Klippen, skal der strømme Vand ud af den, så Folket kan få noget at drikke." Det gjorde Moses så i Påsyn af Israels Ældste.

7 Og han kaldte dette Sted Massa og Meriba, fordi Israeliterne der havde kivedes og fristet HE EN ved at sige: "Er HE EN iblandt os eller ej?"

8 Derefter kom Amalekiterne og angreb Israel i efdim.

9 Da sagde Moses til Josua: "Udvælg dig Mænd og ryk i. Morgen ud til Kamp mod Amalekiterne; jeg vil stille mig på Toppen af Højen med Guds Stav i Hånden!"

10 Josua gjorde, som Moses bød, og rykkede ud til Kamp mod Amalekiterne. Men Moses, Aron og Hur gik op på Toppen af Højen.

11 Når nu Moses løftede Hænderne i Vejret, fik Israeliterne Overtaget, men når han lod Hænderne synke, fik Amalekiterne Overtaget.

12 Og da Moses's Hænder blev trætte, tog de en Sten og lagde under ham; så satte han sig på den, og Aron og Hur støttede hans Hænder, hver på sin Side; således var hans Hænder stadig løftede til Solen gik ned,

13 og Josua huggede Amalekiterne og deres Krigsfolk ned med Sværdet.

14 Da sagde HE EN til Moses: "Optegn dette i en Bog, for at det kan mindes, og indskærp Josua, at jeg fuldstændig vil udslette Amalekiternes Minde under Himmelen!"

15 Derpå byggede Moses et Alter og kaldte det: "HE EN er mit Banner!"

16 Og han sagde: "Der er en udrakt Hånd på HE ENs Trone! HE EN har Krig med Amalek fra Slægt til Slægt!"

8554. Exodus 17

1. And all the assembly of the children of Israel travelled on from the wilderness of Sin, according to their travels, at the mouth of Jehovah, and encamped in Rephidim; and there was no water for the people to drink.

2. And the people wrangled with Moses, and said, Give us water and let us drink. And Moses said to them, Why do you wrangle with me? Why do you tempt Jehovah?

3. And the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses, and said, Why have you caused us to come up out of Egypt, to cause me, and my children, and my livestock to die of thirst? 1

4. And Moses cried out to Jehovah, saying, What shall I do for this people? Yet a little and they stone me. 2

5. And Jehovah said to Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel; and your rod with which you struck the river, take in your hand, and go.

6. Behold, I [will be] standing before you there on the rock in Horeb, and you are to strike the rock, and water will come out of it; and let the people drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.

7. And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the wrangling of the children of Israel, and because of their tempting Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah in the midst of us or not?

8. And Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

9. And Moses said to Joshua, Choose men for us, and go out, fight against Amalek; tomorrow I stand on the top of the hill, with the rod of God in my hand.

10. And Joshua did as Moses said to him, by fighting against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

11. And so it was, when Moses raised up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

12. And the hands of Moses were heavy; and they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and one on the other. And so it was, his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

13. And Joshua decimated 3 Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

14. And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this [for] a memorial in the book, and put it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.

15. And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah Nissi.

16. And he said, Because [Amalek's] hand is against the throne of Jah, the war of Jehovah will be against Amalek from generation to generation.

CONTENTS

The previous chapter dealt in the internal sense with a third temptation - a stage when good was lacking. The present chapter deals in the internal sense with the stage that came after the people had been given that good - a fourth temptation, in which truth was lacking. This temptation is meant by the grumbling of the children of Israel because they had no water; so they were given the truth of faith by the Lord, which is meant by the water from the rock of Horeb.

脚注:

1. The change in this sentence from the plural us to the singular me occurs in the Hebrew.

2. i.e. They are almost ready to stone me.

3. literally, weakened
