Marah
Penerangan
Marah — kepahitan, sebuah mata air di stesen keenam orang Israel [Kel 15:23 , 24; Bil 33:8 ] yang airnya sangat pahit sehingga mereka tidak dapat meminumnya. Oleh sebab itu, mereka mengeluh terhadap Musa, yang, di bawah arahan 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 terdapat beberapa mata air yang sangat “pahit,” berjarak sekitar 47 batu 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.
