1 And they set out all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel from [the] wilderness of Sin to journeyings their on [the] mouth of Yahweh and they encamped at Rephidim and there not [was] water to drink the people.
All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to YHWH's commandment, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.
2 And it quarreled the people with Moses and they said give to us water so we may drink and he said to them Moses why? are you quarreling! with me why? are you putting to [the] test! Yahweh.
Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, "Give us water to drink." Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test YHWH?"
3 And it was thirsty there the people for water and it grumbled the people on Moses and it said why? this did you bring up us from Egypt to put to death me and children my and livestock my by thirst.
The people were thirsty for water there; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?"
4 And he cried out Moses to Yahweh saying what? will I do to the people this yet a little and they will stone me.
Moses cried to YHWH, saying, "What shall I do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me."
5 And he said Yahweh to Moses pass on before the people and take with you some of [the] elders of Israel and staff your which you struck with it the River take in hand your and you will go.
YHWH said to Moses, "Walk on before the people, and take the elders of Israel with you, and take the staff in your hand with which you struck the Nile, and go.
6 Here I [will be] standing before you there - on the rock at Horeb and you will strike the rock and they will come out from it waters and it will drink the people and he did so Moses to [the] eyes of [the] elders of Israel.
Look, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb. You shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink." Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
7 And he called [the] name of the place Massah and Meribah on [the] quarrel of - [the] people of Israel and because put to [the] test they Yahweh saying ¿ [is] there Yahweh in midst our or? not.
He called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested YHWH, saying, "Is YHWH among us, or not?"
8 And it came Amalek and it joined battle with Israel at Rephidim.
Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 And he said Moses to Joshua choose for us men and go out fight against Amalek tomorrow I [will be] standing on [the] top of the hill and [the] staff of God [will be] in hand my.
Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with God's staff in my hand."
10 And he did Joshua just as he had said to him Moses by fighting against Amalek and Moses Aaron and Hur they went up [the] top of the hill.
So Joshua did as Moses had told him, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 And he said Yahweh to Moses write this reminder in the book and put [it] in [the] ears of Joshua for certainly I will wipe out [the] remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.
