Commentary

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 33:16

FROM SINAI TO KADESH AND PLAINS OF MOAB. (Num. 33:16-56) Kibroth-Hattaavah ("the graves of lust," see on Num 11:34) --The route, on breaking up the encampment at Sinai, led down Wady Sheikh; then crossing Jebel-et-Tih, which intersected the peninsula, they descended into Wady Zalaka, pitching successively at two brief, though memorable, stations (Deu 9:22); then they encamped at Hazeroth ("unwalled villages"), supposed to be at Ain-Hadera (see on Num 11:35). Kadesh, or Kadesh-barnea, is supposed to be the great valley of the Ghor, and the city Kadesh to have been situated on the border of this valley [BURCKHARDT; ROBINSON]. But as there are no less than eighteen stations inserted between Ha…

John Gill on Numbers 33:16

And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah. Eight miles from the desert of Sinai; here the people lusted after flesh, and murmured, which, though given them, a pestilence came and destroyed many of them, and here they were buried, whence the place was so called, which signifies the "graves of lust", i.e. of those that lusted: no mention is made of Taberah, either because it was the same with Kibroth, or near it; or, as Aben Ezra on Deuteronomy 9:22 says, they encamped there but one day, and so is not mentioned in the journeys, though it was one of the three they journeyed from Mount Sinai to Kibrothhattaavah, see Numbers 11:1.

John Calvin on Numbers 33:1-37

Numbers 33:1-56 1. These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies, under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 1. Istae sunt profectiones filiorum Israel, qui egressi sunt e terra Egypti, per exercitus suos, per manum Mosis et Aharon. 2. And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the Lord: and these are their journeys according to their goings out. 2. Scripsit autem Moses egressus eorum per profectiones eorum juxta sermonem Jehovae: istae, inquam, sunt profectiones eorum per egressus eorum. 3. And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the mo…

The Church Fathers

Thence one comes to the tombs of concupiscence. What are the tombs of concupiscence? Without doubt where the desires are buried and covered over, where every craving is extinguished and the flesh no longer lusts against the spirit, being mortified, that is, by the death of Christ.
— Origen of Alexandria, HOMILIES ON NUMBERS 27.12
