Camp Kibroth Hattaavah

4-6 The misfits among the people had a craving and soon they had the People of Israel whining, “Why can’t we have meat?

15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God(G) in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.(H)
