began again to be mutinous, and to Moses for the misfortunes they
had suffered their travels; and that when he had persuaded to
leave a good land, they at once had lost land, and instead of
that happy state he had them, they were still wandering in their
miserable condition, being already in want water; and if the
manna should happen to fail, must then utterly perish. Yet while
they spake many and sore things against the there was one of them
who exhorted them to be unmindful of Moses, and of what great
pains he had been at about their common safety; not to despair of
assistance from God. The multitude thereupon became still more
unruly, and mutinous against Moses than before. Hereupon Moses,
although he was so basely abused by them encouraged them in their
despairing conditioned and promised that he would procure them a
quantity of flesh-meat, and that not for a few days only, but for
many days. This they were not to believe; and when one of them
asked, whence he could obtain such vast plenty of what he
promised, he replied, "Neither God nor I, we hear such
opprobrious language from will leave off our labors for you; and
this soon appear also." As soon as ever he had this, the whole
camp was filled with quails, they stood round about them, and
gathered great numbers. However, it was not long ere God punished
the Hebrews for their insolence, those reproaches they had used
towards him, no small number of them died; and still to this day
the place retains the memory of this destruction and is named
Kibrothhattaavah, which is, Graves of Lust.
