1 ثُمَّ ٱرْتَحَلَ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ سِينٍ بِحَسَبِ مَرَاحِلِهِمْ عَلَى مُوجِبِ أَمْرِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَنَزَلُوا فِي رَفِيدِيمَ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَاءٌ لِيَشْرَبَ ٱلشَّعْبُ. 2 فَخَاصَمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مُوسَى وَقَالُوا: «أَعْطُونَا مَاءً لِنَشْرَبَ». فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى: «لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُونَنِي؟ لِمَاذَا تُجَرِّبُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ؟» 3 وَعَطِشَ هُنَاكَ ٱلشَّعْبُ إِلَى ٱلْمَاءِ، وَتَذَمَّرَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى مُوسَى وَقَالُوا: «لِمَاذَا أَصْعَدْتَنَا مِنْ مِصْرَ لِتُمِيتَنَا وَأَوْلَادَنَا وَمَوَاشِيَنَا بِٱلْعَطَشِ؟» 4 فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ بِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ؟ بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ يَرْجُمُونَنِي». 5 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «مُرَّ قُدَّامَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَخُذْ مَعَكَ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَعَصَاكَ ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبْتَ بِهَا ٱلنَّهْرَ خُذْهَا فِي يَدِكَ وَٱذْهَبْ. 6 هَا أَنَا أَقِفُ أَمَامَكَ هُنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ فِي حُورِيبَ، فَتَضْرِبُ ٱلصَّخْرَةَ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا مَاءٌ لِيَشْرَبَ ٱلشَّعْبُ». فَفَعَلَ مُوسَى هَكَذَا أَمَامَ عُيُونِ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. 7 وَدَعَا ٱسْمَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ «مَسَّةَ وَمَرِيبَةَ» مِنْ أَجْلِ مُخَاصَمَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ تَجْرِبَتِهِمْ لِلرَّبِّ قَائِلِينَ: «أَفِي وَسَطِنَا ٱلرَّبُّ أَمْ لَا؟». 8 وَأَتَى عَمَالِيقُ وَحَارَبَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي رَفِيدِيمَ. 9 فَقَالَ مُوسَى لِيَشُوعَ: «ٱنْتَخِبْ لَنَا رِجَالًا وَٱخْرُجْ حَارِبْ عَمَالِيقَ. وَغَدًا أَقِفُ أَنَا عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلتَّلَّةِ وَعَصَا ٱللهِ فِي يَدِي». 10 فَفَعَلَ يَشُوعُ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى لِيُحَارِبَ عَمَالِيقَ. وَأَمَّا مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَحُورُ فَصَعِدُوا عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلتَّلَّةِ. 11 وَكَانَ إِذَا رَفَعَ مُوسَى يَدَهُ أَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَغْلِبُ، وَإِذَا خَفَضَ يَدَهُ أَنَّ عَمَالِيقَ يَغْلِبُ. 12 فَلَمَّا صَارَتْ يَدَا مُوسَى ثَقِيلَتَيْنِ، أَخَذَا حَجَرًا وَوَضَعَاهُ تَحْتَهُ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ. وَدَعَمَ هَارُونُ وَحُورُ يَدَيْهِ، ٱلْوَاحِدُ مِنْ هُنَا وَٱلْآخَرُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. فَكَانَتْ يَدَاهُ ثَابِتَتَيْنِ إِلَى غُرُوبِ ٱلشَّمْسِ. 13 فَهَزَمَ يَشُوعُ عَمَالِيقَ وَقَوْمَهُ بِحَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. 14 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱكْتُبْ هَذَا تَذْكَارًا فِي ٱلْكِتَابِ، وَضَعْهُ فِي مَسَامِعِ يَشُوعَ. فَإِنِّي سَوْفَ أَمْحُو ذِكْرَ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ». 15 فَبَنَى مُوسَى مَذْبَحًا وَدَعَا ٱسْمَهُ «يَهْوَهْ نِسِّي». 16 وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ ٱلْيَدَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ ٱلرَّبِّ. لِلرَّبِّ حَرْبٌ مَعَ عَمَالِيقَ مِنْ دَوْرٍ إِلَى دَوْرٍ».

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… shall have knowledge to cry, Father or mother, He shall receive the power of Damascus, and the spoils of Samaria, against the king of the Assyrians;" declaring, in a mysterious manner indeed, but emphatically, that the Lord did fight with a hidden hand against Amalek. For this cause, too, He suddenly removed those children belonging to the house of David, …

Who else save Joshua the son of Nun divided the stream of the Jordan for …
