Exodus 17
17:1 And
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
a Rephidim: and [there was] no water
for the people to drink.
(
a) Moses does not note every place where they
camped as in Numbers 33, but only those places where some notable thing was
done.
17:2 Wherefore 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
b tempt the
LORD?
(
b) Why do you distrust God? Why do you not look
for comfort from him without complaining to us?
17:4 And Moses cried unto the
LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to
c
stone me.
(
c) How ready the people are to slay the true
prophets for their own purposes and how slow they are to take up God's cause
against his enemies and false prophets.
17:7 And
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
d
LORD among us, or not?
(
d) When in adversity we think God is absent,
then we neglect his promise and make him a liar.
17:8 Then came
e
Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
(
e) Who came from Eliphaz, son of Esau, (
Genesis
36:12).
17:9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men,
and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the
f
hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
(
f) That is, Horeb, which is also called Sinai.
17:11 And it came to pass,
when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let
g
down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
(
g) So that we see how dangerous a thing it is to
cease in prayer.
17:14
And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this [for] a memorial
h
in a book, and rehearse [it] in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out
the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
(
h) In the book of the law.
17:15 And Moses built an altar, and called the name
of it
i Jehovahnissi:
(
i) That is, the Lord is my banner as he declared
by holding up his rod and his hands.
