(Heb. Massah', מִסָּה , trial, as often; Sept. πειρασμός, πείρα; Vulg. tentatio), a name given to the spot in Rephidim where the Israelites provoked Jehovah by murmuring for want of water; otherwise called MERIBAH (Exodus 17:7; Deuteronomy 6:16; Deuteronomy 9:22; Deuteronomy 28:8). The name also occurs (in the Heb.), with mention of the circumstances which occasioned it, in Psalms 95:8-9, and its Greek equivalent in Hebrews 3:8.
