Wherefore the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why chide you with me? why do ye tempt the LORD?
3

4
And Moses cried to the LORD, saying, What shall I do to this people? they are almost ready to stone me.

6
Behold, I will stand before thee there on the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and water shall come out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12

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

And the LORD said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

16
For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
