    Description

    Kibroth-hattaavah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Kibroth-hattaavah, which means "graves of craving," was a place where the Israelites camped during their wilderness journey after leaving Mount Sinai (Numbers 33:16-17). At this location, the people complained about the lack of meat and expressed their desire to return to Egypt (Numbers 11:4-6). In response to their complaint, God sent quail for the people to eat. However, while the meat was still between their teeth, God struck them with a severe plague, and many died (Numbers 11:31-34). The place was named Kibroth-hattaavah because of the graves of those who had craved meat. Moses later reminded the Israelites of this incident as an example of their rebellion against God (Deu.9.22). The exact location of Kibroth-hattaavah in the Sinai Peninsula is unknown.

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
