Numbers 11:28-34

28 Then Joshua son of Nun, who had been Moses' helper since he was a young man, spoke up and said to Moses, "Stop them, sir!"
29 Moses answered, "Are you concerned about my interests? I wish that the Lord would give his spirit to all his people and make all of them shout like prophets!"
30 Then Moses and the seventy leaders of Israel went back to camp.
31 Suddenly the Lord sent a wind that brought quails from the sea, flying three feet above the ground. They settled on the camp and all around it for miles and miles in every direction.
32 So all that day, all night, and all the next day, the people worked catching quails; no one gathered less than fifty bushels. They spread them out to dry all around the camp.
33 While there was still plenty of meat for them to eat, the Lord became angry with the people and caused an epidemic to break out among them.
34 That place was named Kibroth Hattaavah (which means "Graves of Craving"), because there they buried the people who had craved meat.
