Mara
Opis
Marah — gorčina, izvor na šestoj postaji Izraelaca [Izl 15:23 , 24; Br 33:8 ] čije su vode bile toliko gorke da ih nisu mogli piti. Zbog toga su mrmljali protiv Mojsija, koji je, po božanskom nalogu, bacio u izvor "određeno drvo" koje je uklonilo njegovu gorčinu, tako da su ljudi pili iz njega. To je vjerojatno bio 'Ain Hawarah, gdje još uvijek postoji nekoliko izvora vode koji su vrlo "gorki," udaljeni oko 47 milja od 'Ayun Mousa.

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.
