Exodus 17:7 in Context — Exodus 17
5 L’Éternel dit à Moïse: Passe devant le peuple, et prends avec toi des anciens d’Israël; prends aussi dans ta main ta verge avec laquelle tu as frappé le fleuve, et marche!
6 Voici, je me tiendrai devant toi sur le rocher d’Horeb; tu frapperas le rocher, et il en sortira de l’eau, et le peuple boira. Et Moïse fit ainsi, aux yeux des anciens d’Israël.
7 Il donna à ce lieu le nom de Massa et Meriba, parce que les enfants d’Israël avaient contesté, et parce qu’ils avaient tenté l’Éternel, en disant: L’Éternel est-il au milieu de nous, ou n’y est-il pas?
8 Amalek vint combattre Israël à Rephidim.
9 Alors Moïse dit à Josué: Choisis-nous des hommes, sors, et combats Amalek; demain je me tiendrai sur le sommet de la colline, la verge de Dieu dans ma main.
