Meroba of Capernaum, the unworthy mother
Galilean from Capernaum. Widow of Jacob and mother of the young Alphée whom she rejects and mistreats following her remarriage.
"You have taken a husband again... and with the memory of the first marriage, you have also lost that of your children. Why do you remain silent in this arrogant attitude?" - "Because I did not ask for your words... and I do not know why you come to disturb me..."[1]This Heart hardness will cause young Alphée to leave for the care of Sara of Aphek, disciple of Jesus.
Apostolic journey
Her sad fate will be recalled a few months later:"They speak of the little children of the Woman from Capernaum who, after a second marriage, no longer loved the children of the first marriage and who then died so unfortunately that truly one has seen the hand of God in her death," says Salome.[2]
Her name
Meriba, the closest sounding to Meroba, means "Quarrel" and refers to the place on Sinai where Moses made water spring forth for a people in Revolt. Meroba, subjected to Google’s Hebrew automatic translator, gives "maximum."
