Who or what is this?
Taberah is a wilderness encampment where fire from the Lord burned in the outskirts of the camp against the who were complaining (Numbers 11:3; Deuteronomy 9:22). interceded for the people and the fire was quenched, but not before part of the camp was consumed. Moses named the place Taberah, meaning 'burning,' as a memorial of the event. The episode precedes the more extended narrative of the people's craving for meat and the sending of quail, suggesting a period of sustained murmuring in the wilderness. Deuteronomy later invokes Taberah alongside and Kibroth-hattaavah as examples of Israel's rebellion.
