Taberah

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(burning). A place in the wilderness of Paran, where the Israelites encamped. It was so called because God there consumed the murmurers. The encampment remained there for a month, and the excessive eating of quail led to a pestilence, for which reason the place was called Kibroth-hattavah, or “graves of lust” (Num. 11:3,34³And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them. (Numbers 11:3)
³⁴And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted. (Numbers 11:34); Deut. 9:22²²And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the Lord to wrath. (Deuteronomy 9:22)).
