Numbers 11:31-35
Christian Standard Bible
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.

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. 35 (F)From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed to (G)Hazeroth, and they remained at (H)Hazeroth.
