KIBROTH-HATTAAVAH

(Kibʹroth-hat·taʹa·vah) [Burial Places of the Craving].

The site of an Israelite wilderness encampment, where the mixed crowd expressed selfish longing for the food of Egypt. (Nu 11:4; 33:16, 17; De 9:22) It is generally identified with Rueis el-Eberij, about halfway between Jebel Musa, the traditional site of Mount Sinai, and Hazeroth. There Jehovah miraculously provided a month’s supply of quail for the entire camp. (Nu 11:19, 20, 31) But the people were so greedy that “the one collecting least gathered ten homers” (2,200 L; 62 bu).

Nu 11:32-35.
