About Kibroth-hattaavah
Location in the wilderness where the Israelites who were killed by plague for craving meat from Egypt were buried (Nm 11:34–35; 33:16–17; Dt 9:22). It was situated between Mt Sinai and Hazeroth, but its exact site is unknown. The name, meaning “graves of craving,” accords with the account of the quails.
