Numbers 11:32

Verse 32 of 35. The 11th of 36 chapters in Numbers, in The Law.

28Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered, “My lord Moses, forbid them!”

29Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets, that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!”

30Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

31A wind from the LORD went out and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the earth.

32The people rose up all that day, and all of that night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers; and they spread them all out for themselves around the camp.

33While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the LORD’s anger burned against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very great plague.

34The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.

35From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.
