Bamidbar 33:16 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 33:16

And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at
Kibrothhattaavah.
] Eight miles from the desert of Sinai; here the people lusted after flesh, and murmured, which, though given them, a pestilence came and destroyed many of them, and here they were buried, whence the place was so called, which signifies the "graves of lust", i.e. of those that lusted: no mention is made of Taberah, either because it was the same with Kibroth, or near it; or, as Aben Ezra on ( Deuteronomy 9:22 ) says, they encamped there but one day, and so is not mentioned in the journeys, though it was one of the three they journeyed from Mount Sinai to Kibrothhattaavah, see ( Numbers 11:1-3 Numbers 11:34 Numbers 11:35 ) .
