Mara
Kirjeldus
Marah — kibedus, allikas, mis asus iisraellaste kuuendas peatuskohas [2Ms 15:23 , 24; 4Ms 33:8 ], mille vesi oli nii kibe, et nad ei saanud seda juua. Selle tõttu nad nurisesid Moosese vastu, kes jumaliku juhtimise all viskas allikasse "kindla puu", mis eemaldas kibeduse, nii et rahvas sai sellest juua. See oli tõenäoliselt 'Ain Hawarah, kus on endiselt mitu allikat, mille vesi on väga "kibe", umbes 47 miili kaugusel 'Ayun Mousast.

Marah
bitterness, a fountain at the sixth station of the Israelites (Ex 15:23; 15:24; Num 33:8) whose waters were so bitter that they could not drink them. On this account they murmured against Moses, who, under divine direction, cast into the fountain "a certain tree" which took away its bitterness, so that the people drank of it. This was probably the 'Ain Hawarah, where there are still several springs of water that are very "bitter," distant some 47 miles from 'Ayun Mousa.
