Exodus 17 Bible Study, The Struck Rock of Horeb and Israel's Battle with the Amalekites

This study we cover Exodus 17 in which we see Israel move from the desert of sin to Rephidim where they once again are without water. Rather then seeking the Lord the Israelites complain and quarrel with Moses, ready to stone him. Despite this God provides through the struck rock of Horeb (what is that a picture of?). We then study the story of Israel's battle with the Amalekites.
