Exodus 17:6 Context
4And Moses cried vnto the Lord, saying, What shall I doe vnto this people? They be almost ready to stone me. 5And the Lord said vnto Moses, Goe on before the people, and take with thee of the Elders of Israel: and thy rod wherewith thou smotest the riuer, take in thine hand, and goe. 6Behold, I will stand before thee there, vpon the rocke in Horeb, and thou shalt smite the rocke, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drinke. And Moses did so, in the sight of the Elders of Israel. 7And hee 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 amongst vs, or not? 8¶ Then came Amalek, & fought with Israel in Rephidim.
