Numbers 11:3 After that, the area was known as Taberah (which means “the place of burning”), because fire from the Lord had burned among them there. (New Living Translation)
Numbers 11:34 So that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah (which means “graves of gluttony”) because there they buried the people who had craved meat from Egypt. 35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the Israelites traveled to Hazeroth, where they stayed for some time. (New Living Translation)
The above texts do not indicate any movement on the part of the Israelites but two places are mentioned when the Israelites complain and are slayed.
In the first incident it is said the people complained about hardships and they were destroyed by the fire; the place was called Taberah, where Moses enlisted the help of the Lord to carry the burden. (seventy elders)
In the second incident it is said the people complained about meat the place was called Kibroth Hattaavah and the Lord’s anger blazed and they were destroyed by a severe plague.
This seems to be one continuous narrative where there is no movement on the part of the Israelites
Are these one and the same place?
