出埃及記 17:1 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 17:1

And all the congregation of the children of Israel
journeyed from the wilderness of Sin
Where they had stayed some time, at least a week, as it should seem, from the gathering the manna there six days, and resting on the seventh:

after their journeys:
first from the wilderness of Sin to Dophkah, and from Dophkah to Alusb, and from Alush to Rephidim, as appears from ( Numbers 33:12-14 ) their two stations at Dophkah and Alush are here omitted, nothing very remarkable or of any moment happening at either place:

according to the commandment;
or "mouth of the Lord" F4, who, either with an articulate voice out of the cloud, ordered when they should march, and where they should encamp; or else this was signified by the motion or rest of the pillar of cloud or fire, which always went before them, in which the Lord was:

and pitched in Rephidim;
which was a place on the western side of Mount Sinai: according to Bunting F5, Dophkah was twelve miles from the wilderness of Sin, and Alush twelve miles from Dophkah, and Rephidim eight miles from Alush: and Jerom says F6, according to the propriety of the Syriac language, it signifies a remission of hands: and to which the Targum of Jonathan seems to have respect, adding,

``the place where their hands ceased from the precepts of the law, wherefore the fountains were dried up;''

and it follows:

and there was no water for the people to drink;
being a sandy desert place.

1 以 色 列 全 會 眾 都 遵 耶 和 華 的 吩 咐 , 按 著 站 口 從 汛 的 曠 野 往 前 行 , 在 利 非 訂 安 營 。 百 姓 沒 有 水 喝 ,
2 所 以 與 摩 西 爭 鬧 , 說 : 給 我 們 水 喝 罷 ! 摩 西 對 他 們 說 : 你 們 為 甚 麼 與 我 爭 鬧 ? 為 甚 麼 試 探 耶 和 華 呢 ?
3 百 姓 在 那 裡 甚 渴 , 要 喝 水 , 就 向 摩 西 發 怨 言 , 說 : 你 為 甚 麼 將 我 們 從 埃 及 領 出 來 , 使 我 們 和 我 們 的 兒 女 並 牲 畜 都 渴 死 呢 ?
4 摩 西 就 呼 求 耶 和 華 說 : 我 向 這 百 姓 怎 樣 行 呢 ? 他 們 幾 乎 要 拿 石 頭 打 死 我 。
5 耶 和 華 對 摩 西 說 : 你 手 裡 拿 著 你 先 前 擊 打 河 水 的 杖 , 帶 領 以 色 列 的 幾 個 長 老 , 從 百 姓 面 前 走 過 去 。
