Kibroth-hattaavah; 'graves of craving,' an Israelite wilderness encampment
A compound place name meaning 'graves of craving' or 'graves of desire,' marking a station in the Israelite wilderness itinerary. Numbers 11:34 explains the etymology: the people who craved meat were buried there after God's judgment through a plague. The name appears in the travel narrative (Num 11:34-35; 33:16-17) and in Moses' recollection of Israel's rebellions (Deut 9:22). All major translations transliterate the name rather than translate it, as Spanish 'Quibrot-Hataava' and French 'Kibroth-hattaavah' confirm.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A proper place name designating a wilderness encampment between Sinai and Hazeroth, literally meaning 'graves of craving.' Named because the Israelites who lusted for meat were struck down and buried there (Num 11:34). Mentioned in the itinerary lists (Num 33:16-17) and in Deuteronomy's rehearsal of rebellion (Deut 9:22). Spanish 'Quibrot-Hataava,' French and German 'Kibroth-hattaavah' all transliterate rather than translate, preserving the Hebrew memorial name. 5×
