Numbers 11:31-35 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

31. Some time later the Lord sent a strong wind that blew quails in from the sea until Israel's camp was completely surrounded with birds, piled up about a metre high for miles in every direction.

32. The people picked up quails for two days—each person collected at least a thousand kilogrammes. Then they spread them out to dry.

33. But before the meat could be eaten, the Lord became angry and sent a disease through the camp.

34. After they had buried the people who had been so greedy for meat, they called the place “Graves for the Greedy”.

35. Israel then broke camp and travelled to Hazeroth.
