Mara
Opis
Marah — grenkoba, vodnjak na šestem postajališču Izraelcev [2Mz 15:23 , 24; 4Mz 33:8 ], katerega vode so bile tako grenke, da jih niso mogli piti. Zaradi tega so godrnjali proti Mojzesu, ki je po božjem navodilu vrgel v vodnjak "določeno drevo", ki je odvzelo njegovo grenkobo, tako da so ljudje lahko pili iz njega. To je bil verjetno 'Ain Hawarah, kjer je še vedno več izvirov vode, ki so zelo "grenki", oddaljeni približno 47 milj 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.
