KIBROTH-HATTAAVAH


(Heb. qiḇrôṯ hattaʾăwâ)

The first encampment of the Israelites, between Mt. Sinai and Hazeroth, after they left the wilderness of Sinai (Num. 33:16-17). Here the Lord sent quail for the Israelites to eat (Num. 11:31-35). The subsequent greediness of some in gathering and eating the quail prompted the Lord to plague them (cf. Deut. 9:22). Those who died were buried at this site, whose name means “graves of craving” or “graves of greediness.” The location may be modern Rueis el-Ebeirij (076797), ca. 50 km. (31 mi.) NE of Mt. Sinai (Jebel Mûsā).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
