The Quail and the Plague

31 (A)Now there went forth a wind from Yahweh, and it brought quail from the sea, and let them fall beside the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp and [a]about two [b]cubits over the surface of the ground. 32 And the people [c]spent all day and all night and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered [d]ten (B)homers), and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp. 33 (C)While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh struck the people with a very severe plague. 34 So the name of that place was called [e](D)Kibroth-hattaavah because there they buried the people who had been greedy. 35 From Kibroth-hattaavah (E)the people set out for Hazeroth, and they [f]remained at Hazeroth.

Numbers 11:31-35
Evangelical Heritage Version

Quail and a Plague From the Lord

31 A wind sent out from the Lord brought quail in from the sea. The wind scattered them throughout the camp (and about a day’s journey in any direction around the camp) about three feet deep[a] on the ground. 32 All that day, all that night, and all the next day, the people got up and gathered the quail. No one gathered fewer than sixty bushels.[b] They spread them out around the camp. 33 But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the Lord’s anger burned against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very severe plague. 34 They named that place Kibroth Hatta’avah,[c] because there they buried the people who were overcome by their craving.

35 From Kibroth Hatta’avah the people traveled to Hazeroth, and they stayed at Hazeroth.

New International Version

31 Now a wind went out from the Lord and drove quail(A) in from the sea. It scattered them up to two cubits[a] deep all around the camp, as far as a day’s walk in any direction. 32 All that day and night and all the next day the people went out and gathered quail. No one gathered less than ten homers.[b] Then they spread them out all around the camp. 33 But while the meat was still between their teeth(B) and before it could be consumed, the anger(C) of the Lord burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.(D) 34 Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah,[c](E) because there they buried the people who had craved other food.

35 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth(F) and stayed there.
