Nombres 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.

Nombres 11:34 In-Context

32 Et le peuple se leva, tout ce jour-là, et toute la nuit, et tout le jour suivant, et ils amassèrent les cailles; celui qui en amassa le moins, en avait dix homers, et ils les étendirent pour eux, tout autour du camp.
33 La chair était encore entre leurs dents, elle n'était pas encore mâchée, que la colère de l'Éternel s'embrasa contre le peuple, et l'Éternel frappa le peuple d'une très grande plaie.
34 Et l'on nomma ce lieu-là Kibroth-Hatthaava (tombeaux de la convoitise); car on ensevelit là le peuple qui avait convoité.
35 De Kibroth-Hatthaava le peuple partit pour Hatséroth; et ils s'arrêtèrent à Hatséroth.
