It is used to describe the taste of something unpleasant, as well as to express emotional distress or hardship. In the Bible, "mar" often conveys the idea of suffering, sorrow, or a difficult experience.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of bitterness was not only associated with taste but also with life experiences. Bitter herbs were part of the Passover meal, symbolizing the harshness of the Israelites' slavery in Egypt. The term "mar" captures the essence of life's trials and the emotional responses they evoke, reflecting a worldview that acknowledges both the sweetness and bitterness of human existence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a drop<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>drop (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II.
