Schaff's Bible Dictionary

MAS'SAH (temptation), a name given to the place, also called Meribah, where the Israelites tempted Jehovah. Ex 17:7; Ps 95:8-9; Heb 3:8. MAS'TER is in our translation often the rendering of a Greek word meaning "teacher," Luke 6:40; John 3:10; hence its frequent application to our Lord.
