One of the early stations of the Israelites, so called because the waters there were bitter, but which were made sweet by casting in a tree. Ex. 15: 23; Num. 33: 8, 9. It is typical of the Christian's acceptance of death (Rom. 6: 11; John 6: 53, etc.), in order to live unto God. It is the love of Christ, expressed in His going into death to make a way out for us, that sweetens the bitterness.
