  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Marah 
  bitterness,  a  fountain  at  the  sixth  station  of  the  Israelites 
  (Ex.  15:23,  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.
