Marah (plant)
''Marah'' (the manroots, wild cucumbers, or cucumber gourds) are flowering plants in the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae), native to western North America. The genus (which Kellogg noted was characterized by extreme bitterness) was named for Marah in , which was said to be named for the bitter water there. Except for the isolated range of '' Marah gilensis'' (Gila manroot) in west-central Arizona and island populations (''M. macrocarpus'' var. ''major''), all manroot species inhabit overlapping ranges distributed from Southern Canada to Northern Mexico. Although '' Marah oreganus'' (coastal manroot) extends inland into Idaho, all other manroot species except ''M. gilensis'' are confined to areas within 300 km of the Pacific Ocean coast.

Marah (Bible)
Marah ( he, מָרָה meaning 'bitter') is one of the locations which the Exodus identifies as having been travelled through by the Israelites, during the Exodus. The liberated Israelites set out on their journey in the desert, somewhere in the Sinai Peninsula. It becomes clear that they are not spiritually free. Reaching Marah, the place of a ''well of bitter water'', bitterness and murmuring, Israel receives a first set of divine ordinances and the foundation of the Shabbat. The shortage of water there is followed by a shortness of food. Moses throws a log into the bitter water, making it sweet. Later God sends manna and quail. The desert is the ground where God acquires his people. The 'murmuring motifi' is a recurring perspective of the wandering Jewish people. Events The narrative concerning Marah in the Book of Exodus states that the Israelites had been wandering in the desert for three days without water; according to the narrative, Marah had water, but it was undrin ...
