Numbers 11:31-35

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

The Quails

³¹ Then a wind went out from the Lord, and it brought quails 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, about two cubits deep on the ground.^{(A) 32} So the people worked all that day and night and all the next day gathering the quails; the least anyone gathered was ten homers, and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp. ³³ But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was consumed, the anger of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very great plague.^{(B) 34} So that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah,^[a] because there they buried the people who had the craving.^{(C) 35} From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth.^(D)
