Kibroth Hattaavah
Kibroth Hattaavah or Kibroth-hattaavah (
quails brought by the winds to both sides of the Israelite encampment, which the people gathered. Modern translations imply that Yahweh sent the plague as they were chewing the first meat that fell[5]
The biblical narrative argues that name of Kibroth-hattaavah, which appears to mean graves of lust,
aetiological myth to theologically justify a pre-existing place name;[7] a number of biblical scholars have proposed that the graves (kibroth) in the name kibroth-hattaavah actually refers to a stone circle or cairns,[8] or to recently discovered Chalcolithic (~fourth Millennium BC) megalithic burial sites known as nawamis, meaning mosquitos, which are unique to the central Sinai Peninsula and southern Negev
.
According to
Deuteronomy,[12] which textual scholars ascribe to the Deuteronomist, and consequently date to over two centuries later than the Jahwist and Elohist, and also later than the combined JE text.[13]
Taberah is described by the
Sinai desert.[21]
In culture
- In the 1858 boys' novel Eric, or, Little by Little certain unnamed "vile" activities (presumably masturbation[22]) are referred back to Kibroth-Hattaavah: "Don't you remember Rowlands' sermon not two weeks ago on Kibroth-Hattaavah?"[23]
