A alittle° more° and they will stone° me.” 5 Then the LORD° said° to Moses°, “Pass° before° the people° and take° with you some° of athe elders° of Israel°; and take° in your hand° your staff° with which° byou struck° the Nile°, and go°. 6 Behold°, I will stand° before° you there° on the rock° at aHoreb°; and byou shall strike° the rock°, and water° will come° out of it, that the people° may drink°.” And Moses° did° so° in the sight° of the elders° of Israel°. 7 He named°° the place° IaMassah° and IIbMeribah° because° of the quarrel° of the sons° of Israel°, and because° they ctested° the LORD°, saying°, “Is the LORD° among° us, or° not?”

Amalek Fought

Then they took° a stone° and put° it under° him, and he sat° on it; and Aaron° and Hur° asupported° his hands°, one° on one° side° and one° on the other°. Thus his hands° were steady° until° the sun° set°. 13 So Joshua° Ioverwhelmed° Amalek° and his people° with the edge° of the sword°.
