THE BITTER WATER OF MARAH (15:22-27):
The Israelites travelled from the Red Sea into the wilderness of Shur.
For three days they were unsuccessful at finding water.
They came to a place called Marah, but the water was bitter and undrinkable, so they started grumbling against Moses.
God had Moses cast a log into the water to make it sweet.
In Marah, God established a statue with the Hebrews that if they would honor Him and heed His instructions, He would not afflict them with the diseases that afflicted the Egyptians. He is the Lord our Healer.
God led the Israelites from Marah to Elim where there were 12 springs of water.
