Numeri 11:34 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 11:34

And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah
That is, Moses called it so, or it was called by the children of Israel, and by others in later times, by this name, which signifies "the graves of lust"; dug by lust, or which lust was the cause and occasion of, and where those that indulged it were buried, as follows:

because there they buried the people that lusted;
not all that lusted, for the lusting was pretty general; but all that died through their gluttony and intemperance, and the judgment of God on them; or who were the most inordinate in their lust, and encouraged others in it, and were the ringleaders in the murmur and mutiny.

Numeri 11:34 In-Context

32 E il popolo si levò, e tutto quel giorno e tutta la notte e tutto il giorno seguente raccolse le quaglie. Chi ne raccolse meno n’ebbe dieci omer; e se le distesero tutt’intorno al campo.
33 Ne avevano ancora la carne fra i denti e non l’aveano peranco masticata, quando l’ira dell’Eterno s’accese contro il popolo, e l’Eterno percosse il popolo con una gravissima piaga.
34 E a quel luogo fu dato il nome di Kibroth-Hattaava, perché vi si seppellì la gente ch’era stata presa dalla concupiscenza.
35 Da Kibroth-Hattaava il popolo partì per Hatseroth, e a Hatseroth si fermò.
