MARAH. The first ‘station’ of the Israelites after crossing the sea ( Exodus 15:23 , Numbers 33:8-9 ). If the passage was in the neighbourhood of Suez, Wâdy Hawarah , about 15 to 16 hours’ camel-ride from ‘the Wells of Moses’ (nearly opposite Suez on the E. side of the Gulf of Suez) on the route to the convent of St. Katherine (the traditional Sinai), is a suitable identification.
