    Brief Summary: The statement that 'YOU WERE THIRSTY and exhausted' cross references the DROUGHT mentioned at Ex17-03

Verse Dt25-18 states that the Amalyk attacked the Jews who were thirsty and exhausted Rashi clarifies that this cross reference alludes to Ex17-03, which discusses the drought prior to the Amalayk attack.

Text of Target Verse Dt25-17:18 Text of Reference Verse Ex17-03
Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt; how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were enfeebled in thy rear, when thou wast drought stricken and weary; and he feared not G-d. And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said: 'Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?'
Rashi comments: The underlined phrase though was drought stricken in Dt18-01 references the underlined phrase thirsted there for water in Nu18-20
