This place was subsequently named Massah and Meribah because of the Israelites' testing and quarreling. Additionally, Rephidim is the site of the battle between the Israelites and the Amalekites, where Joshua led the Israelite forces to victory while Moses, supported by Aaron and Hur, held up his hands to ensure the success of the battle (Exodus 17:8-13).
