| 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 Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
| 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 Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
|
|The entire assembly of the children of [[Israel]] traveled from the wilderness of Sin, traveling as they were bidden by the [[YHWH|L<small>ORD</small>]]. They encamped in [[Rephidim]], and there was no [[water]] for the people to drink.

| 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 tempt the LORD?
| 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 tempt the LORD?
|
|So the people raised a contention with [[Moses]], and said, "Give us water to drink!" Moses said to them, "Why are you contending with me? Are you testing the L<small>ORD</small>?"
|
|Which, of course, was exactly what they were doing.

|
|The people were thirsty for water, and complained to Moses, and said, "Why did you bring us out of [[Egypt]]? Did you intend to kill us and our children and cattle with thirst?"

| And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
| And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
|
|Moses cried out to the L<small>ORD</small>, saying, "What can I do for these people? If this goes on much longer, they'll stone me!"

| And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
| And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
|
|The L<small>ORD</small> told Moses, "Pass in front of the people, and take with you some of the old men of Israel. And take your rod, the one you struck the [[Nile]] with, in your hand, and go."

| Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

| 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 LORD among us, or not?
| 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 LORD among us, or not?
|
|He gave that place the names of Massah and Meribah, on account of the contention that the children of Israel made, and because they were testing the L<small>ORD</small>, as if to say, "Is the L<small>ORD</small> among us, or not?"
|
|The root of '''מסה''' or ''massah'' is the Hebrew ''nasthim'', meaning "probing," closely akin to the Greek '''μνασθαι''' or ''mnasthai'', to remember, whence [[amnesty]]. The root of '''מריבה''' or ''meribah'' is the Hebrew '''ריב''' (''rib''), meaning "to contend."

|
|The L<small>ORD</small> told Moses, "Write this down in a scroll to commit it to memory, and make sure Joshua understands it, too: I am going to wipe out any remembrance of Amalek from under the sky."
|
|The Hebrew repeats the "wipe out" concept for emphasis.
