Marah
Deskripsi
Marah — kepahitan, sebuah mata air di stasiun keenam orang Israel [Kel 15:23 , 24; Bil 33:8 ] yang airnya begitu pahit sehingga mereka tidak dapat meminumnya. Karena hal ini, mereka mengeluh kepada Musa, yang, di bawah petunjuk ilahi, melemparkan ke dalam mata air tersebut "sebatang pohon tertentu" yang menghilangkan kepahitannya, sehingga orang-orang dapat meminumnya. Ini mungkin adalah 'Ain Hawarah, di mana masih ada beberapa mata air yang sangat "pahit," berjarak sekitar 47 mil dari '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.
