Numbers 11:31-35
Lexham English Bible
The Quail
31 Then a wind set out from Yahweh, and it drove quails from the west, and he spread them out on the camp about a day’s journey on one side and about a day’s journey on the other, all around the camp, about two cubits on the surface of the land. 32 And so the people worked[a] all day and all night and all the next day, and they gathered the quail (the least of the ones collecting gathered ten homers).[b] 33 While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was consumed, Yahweh was angry with the people, and Yahweh struck a very great plague among the people. 34 And he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah[c] because they buried the people that were greedy.[d] 35 From Kibroth Hattaavah[e] the people set out to Hazeroth; and they stayed[f] in Hazeroth.
