Quail and a Plague

31 Then a ^dwind from the Lord sprang up, 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, around the camp, and about two cubits ^{▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters} above the ground. 32 And the people rose all that day and all night and all the next day, and gathered the quail. Those who gathered least gathered ten ^fhomers. ^{▼▼A homer was about 6 bushels or 220 liters} And they spread them out for themselves all around the camp. 33 ^hWhile the meat was yet between their teeth, before it was consumed, the anger of the Lord was kindled against the people, and ⁱthe Lord struck down the people with a very great plague. 34 Therefore the name of that place was called ^jKibroth-hattaavah, ^{▼▼ Kibroth-hattaavah means graves of craving} because there they buried the people who had the craving.

Psalms 78:27-31

27 he rained meat on them like ^ldust,
winged birds like ^mthe sand of the seas;
28 he ⁿlet them fall in the midst of their camp,
all around their dwellings.
29 And they ^oate and were well filled,
for he gave them what they ^pcraved.
30 But before they had satisfied their craving,
^qwhile the food was still in their mouths,
31 the anger of God rose against them,
and he killed ^rthe strongest of them
and laid low ^sthe young men of Israel.

Psalms 106:14-15

14 But they had ^ta wanton craving in the wilderness,
and ^uput God to the test in the desert;
15 he ^vgave them what they asked,
but sent ^wa wasting disease among them.
