Marah (מָרָה) is one of the places that the Torah identifies as having been crossed by the Israelites during the Exodus (Exodus xv, 23, Numbers xxxiii, 8). The biblical account indicates that there was a spring there whose waters were so bitter that the Israelites could not drink it. They recriminated against Moses who, on a divine inspiration, dipped into the fountain a "certain tree" which took away the bitterness of the water, so that people could drink it. It is probably Ain Hawarah where there are several very bitter sources, 47 km from Ayun Mousa.
Marah's name means "bitterness": Bible commentators therefore see the story as an etiological myth to justify its name. code Notes and edit the code
