Graves of Lust

GRAVES OF LUST; in Hebrew, Kiberothavavah¹; an Incampment of the Hebrews in the Wilderness, whither they arrived, after having decamped from Sinai. This Encampment was called the Graves of Lust, because three and twenty Thousand Israelites died there, who were smitten by God for murmuring, and eating with Excess of those Quails, which God in his Anger caused to fall round about their Camps. See Numb. xi. 34. Deut. ix. 20, 22.
