Numbers 11:3

Ver. 3. And he called the name of the place Taberah,.... That is, "burning": Moses called it so; or it may be rendered impersonally, it was called {s} so in later times by the people:

because the fire of the Lord burnt among them; to perpetuate the, memory of this kind of punishment for their sins, that it might be a terror and warning to others; and this history is indeed recorded for our caution in these last days, that we murmur not as these Israelites did, and were destroyed of the destroyer, 1Co 10:10.

{s} arqyw "et vocatum est", Tigurine version, Fagius, Piscator.
