Numbers 11:31-35

New International Reader's Version

³¹The Lord sent out a wind. It drove quail in from the Red Sea. It scattered them all around the camp. They were about three feet above the ground. They could be seen in every direction as far as a person could walk in a day. ³²The people went out all day and gathered quail. They gathered them all night and all the next day. No one gathered less than 60 bushels. Then they spread the quail out all around the camp. ³³But while the meat was still in their mouths, the Lord acted. Before the people could swallow it, he became very angry with them. He struck them with a terrible plague. ³⁴So the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah. That’s where the bodies of the people who had wished for other food were buried.

³⁵From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth. And they stayed there.

Numbers 11:31-35

New International Version

³¹Now 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. ³²All 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. ³³But 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) ³⁴Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah,^[c]^(E) because there they buried the people who had craved other food.
