Numbers11:34
34 And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah , because there they buried the people that lusted.
Heb. the graves of lust, i. e. of the men that lusted, as it here follows. The abstract for the concrete, which is frequent, as poverty, 2 King. 24. 14. pride, Psal. 36. 11. deceit, sins, Prov. 13. 6, &c. dreams, Ier. 27. 9. are put for men who are poor, or proud, or deceitful, or sinful, or dreamers. And it notes, that this plague did not sieze upon all that did eat of the quails, for then all had been destroyed, but onely upon those who were inordinate both in the desire and use of them.
Marginal references: That is, the graves of lust.
