TABERAH, or Tabeera, an Encampment of the Children of Israel in the Desart, Numb. xi. 3. Deut. ix. 22. ‘Tis call’d Incendium in the Vulgate, which is the literal Signification of the Hebrew word Taberah. They gave it this Name, because a Fire went out from the Tabernacle of the Lord, and burnt up a great Part of the Camp of Israel, as a Punishment for the murmuring of the People, Numb. xi. 1, 2, 3, 4.
