Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Taberah - i. e. “burning:” not the name of a station, and accordingly not found in the list given in Num. 33, but the name of the spot where the fire broke out. This incident might seem (compare Num 11:34) to have occurred at the station called, from another still more terrible event which shortly followed, Kibroth-hattaavah.
