Quail and a Plague
31 Then a (A)wind from the Lord sprang up, 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, around the camp, and about two cubits[a] above the ground. 32 And the people rose all that day and all night and all the next day, and gathered the quail. Those who gathered least gathered ten (B)homers.[b] And they spread them out for themselves all around the camp. 33 (C)While the meat was yet between their teeth, before it was consumed, the anger of the Lord was kindled against the people, and (D)the Lord struck down the people with a very great plague. 34 Therefore the name of that place was called (E)Kibroth-hattaavah,[c] because there they buried the people who had the craving.

For (C)the traitors have betrayed,
with betrayal the traitors have betrayed.”
