The Quail and the Plague

^31 (A)Now there went forth a wind from Yahweh, and it brought quail from the sea, and let them fall beside the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp and ^[a]about two ^[b]cubits over the surface of the ground. ³² And the people ^[c]spent all day and all night and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ^[d]ten ^(B)homers), and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp. ^33 (C)While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh struck the people with a very severe plague. ³⁴ So the name of that place was called ^[e](D)Kibroth-hattaavah because there they buried the people who had been greedy. ³⁵ From Kibroth-hattaavah ^(E)the people set out for Hazeroth, and they ^[f]remained at Hazeroth.
