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.

Quail in the Camp
31 A wind sent by the Lord(A) came up and blew quail in from the sea; it dropped them all around the camp. They were flying three feet[a] off[b] the ground for about a day’s journey in every direction.(B) 32 The people were up all that day and night and all the next day gathering the quail—the one who took the least gathered sixty bushels[c]—and they spread them out all around the camp.[d](C)
33 While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the Lord’s anger burned(D) against the people, and the Lord struck them with a very severe plague.(E) 34 So they named that place Kibroth-hattaavah,[e] because there they buried the people who had craved the meat.
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people moved on to Hazeroth[f](F) and remained there.
