Exodus 17:8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. - Free Bible Online
Exodus 17:8 Then Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim.
Ex 17:8-16. ATTACK OF AMALEK.
8. Then came Amalek--Some time probably elapsed before they were
exposed to this new evil; and the presumption of there being such an
interval affords the only ground on which we can satisfactorily account
for the altered, the better, and former spirit that animated the people
in this sudden contest. The miracles of the manna and the water from
the rock had produced a deep impression and permanent conviction that
God was indeed among them; and with feelings elevated by the conscious
experience of the Divine Presence and aid, they remained calm,
resolute, and courageous under the attack of their unexpected foe.
fought with Israel--The language implies that no occasion had
been furnished for this attack; but, as descendants of Esau, the
Amalekites entertained a deep-seated grudge against them, especially as
the rapid prosperity and marvellous experience of Israel showed that
the blessing contained in the birthright was taking effect. It seems to
have been a mean, dastardly, insidious surprise on the rear
(Nu 24:20;
De 25:17),
and an impious defiance of God.
