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.

The Quail and the Plague

31 (A)Now a wind burst forth from the Lord and it brought quail from the sea, and dropped them 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 about [a]two cubits deep on the surface of the ground. 32 And the people [b]spent all that day, all night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quail (the one who gathered least gathered [c]ten (B)homers) and 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 the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very severe plague. 34 So that place was named [d](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 [e]remained at Hazeroth.
