<p> | <p> [[Marah]] (''mâ'rah'' ), ''bitterness.'' [[A]] place in the wilderness of Shur or Etham, three days' journey, Numbers 33:8-9, from the place at which the Israelites crossed the Red Sea. There was at Marah a spring of bitter water, sweetened subsequently by the casting in of a tree which "the Lord showed" to Moses. Exodus 15:23-24; Numbers 33:8-9. Probably ''ʾAin Hawarah,'' 47 miles from Ayun Mousa, where is a spring. </p> | ||
