Then Moses returned to the camp
on Numbers 11:30-32
A wind from the LORD drives quail in from the sea, from the east and south by Psalm 78:26. Some read “two cubits above the surface of the ground” as birds heaped that deep, and Clarke as their flying height, wearied birds taken by hand. “No one gathered less than ten homers”, far past a household’s need, and they spread the birds out around the camp to keep them.

And Moses got him into the camp,....
God, having performed his promise to Moses by giving him assessors in the government, thereby proving the power he has over the spirits of men by his Spirit, he here performs his promise to the people by giving them flesh, proving thereby his power over the inferior creatures and his dominion in the kingdom of nature.
