When they came to Marah, they couldn't drink from the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah.
They traveled from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness: and they went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etam, and encamped in Marah.
She said to them, *Don't call me Na`omi 1, call me Mara; for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
