Numbers 33:16
They set out from the Wilderness of Sinai and camped at Kibroth-hattaavah.
BSB
ASV
And they journeyed from the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped in Kibroth-hattaavah.
KJV
And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibroth–hattaavah.
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.
Kibroth-hattaavah - No city, village, etc., but a place in the open desert, which had its name from the plague that fell upon the Israelites, through their murmuring against God, and their inordinate desire of flesh. See on Numbers 11 (note). But it appears that the Israelites had traveled three days’ journey in order to reach this place, Num 10:33, and commentators suppose there must have been other stations which are not laid down here, probably because the places were not remarkable. Stat. 13.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
