30 And Moses returned to the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

The Lord Sends Quail

31 Now a awind went out from the Lord, and it brought quail from the sea and left them fluttering near the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and about a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground.  
32 And the people stayed up all that day, all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten ahomers); and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.  
33 But while the ameat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was aroused against the people, and the Lord struck the people with a very great plague.  
34 So he called the name of that place1 Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had yielded to craving.  
35 aFrom Kibroth Hattaavah the people moved to Hazeroth, and camped at Hazeroth.

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
