1. Numbers 11:31–35

   Now a wind sent by the LORD came up, drove in quail from the sea, and brought them near the camp, about two cubits above the surface of the ground, for a day’s journey in every direction around the camp.

   ›Commentary on Numbers 11:31–352 voices

   “It is evident, however, that the language describes the countless number of these quails. as it were two cubits high--Some have supposed that they fell on the ground above each other to that height--a supposition which would leave a vast quantity useless as food to the Israelites, who were forbidden to eat any animal that died of itself or from which the blood was not poured out.

   “And there went forth a wind from the Lord,.... Both an east wind and a south wind, according to Psa 78:26; either first one wind, and then another; one to bring the quails, or whatever are meant, to a certain point, and then the other to bring them to the camp of Israel; or a southeast wind, as the Jewish writers interpret it: however, it was not a common wind, but what was immediately raised by the Lord for the following purpose: and brought quails from the sea; the Red sea, from the coasts of it, not out of it.

2. Numbers 33:16

   They set out from the Wilderness of Sinai and camped at Kibroth-hattaavah.

   ›Commentary on Numbers 33:162 voices

   “From there they come to the Tombs of Lust [Kibroth-hattavah]. What are the Tombs of Lust? Doubtless it is where lusts are buried and covered over, where all desire is quenched and the flesh no longer lusts against the spirit, since it has been put to death by the death of Christ.

   “And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah.

3. Numbers 33:17

   They set out from Kibroth-hattaavah and camped at Hazeroth.

   ›Commentary on Numbers 33:172 voices

   “And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth. Eight miles from Kibrothhattaavah, where Miriam was smote with leprosy, Num 12:1.

   “Next they come to Aseroth [Hazeroth]. This means "perfect halls" or "blessedness."Consider quite carefully, each of you wanderers, what the order of progress is. After you have been buried and have handed over the lusts of the flesh to death, you will come to the spacious dignity of halls, you will come to blessedness. For blessed is the soul that is no longer driven by any vices of the flesh.

4. Deuteronomy 9:22

   You continued to provoke the LORD at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah.

   ›Commentary on Deuteronomy 9:222 voices

   “And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the Lord to wrath.

   “See the marginal reference. Taberah was the name of a spot in or near the station of Kibroth-hattaavah, and accordingly is not named in the list of encampments given in Num 33:16. The separate mention of the two is, however, appropriate here, for each place and each name was a memorial of an act of rebellion. The instances in this and the next verse are not given in order of occurrence. The speaker for his own purposes advances from the slighter to the more heinous proofs of guilt.
