Bilangan 11:34-35

11:34 So the name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, ¹  because there they buried the people that craved different food. ²  11:35 The people traveled from Kibroth Hattaavah to Hazeroth, and they stayed at Hazeroth.

[11:34]  ¹ sn The name “the graves of the ones who craved” is again explained by a wordplay, a popular etymology. In Hebrew קִבְרוֹת הַתַּאֲוָה (qivrot hatta’avah) is the technical name. It is the place that the people craved the meat, longing for the meat of Egypt, and basically rebelled against God. The naming marks another station in the wilderness where the people failed to accept God’s good gifts with grace and to pray for their other needs to be met.

[11:34]  ² tn The words “different food” are implied, and are supplied in the translation for clarity.
