The Hebrew word for "provoke" suggests a deliberate and ongoing action, indicating that the Israelites' behavior was not a one-time event but a pattern of defiance. This rebellion is a recurring theme throughout the wilderness journey, as seen in <a href="/exodus/32.htm">Exodus 32</a> with the golden calf incident and <a href="/numbers/14.htm">Numbers 14</a> with the refusal to enter the Promised Land. The Israelites' actions serve as a warning against hardening one's heart and the consequences of disobedience to God's commands.<p><b>at Taberah</b><br>Taberah, meaning "burning," refers to an event recorded in <a href="/numbers/11.htm">Numbers 11:1-3</a>, where the Israelites complained about their hardships, and God's anger was kindled, resulting in a fire that consumed the outskirts of the camp. This incident underscores the seriousness of grumbling against God and His provision. It serves as a reminder of God's holiness and the need for gratitude and trust in His plans, even when circumstances are challenging.<p><b>at Massah</b><br>Massah, meaning "testing," is associated with the event in <a href="/exodus/17.htm">Exodus 17:1-7</a>, where the Israelites quarreled and tested the LORD by demanding water. This location is also called Meribah, meaning "quarreling." The incident at Massah is a significant example of the Israelites' lack of faith and trust in God's provision, despite witnessing His miracles. It is referenced in <a href="/psalms/95-8.htm">Psalm 95:8-9</a> and <a href="/hebrews/3-8.htm">Hebrews 3:8-9</a> as a warning to believers not to harden their hearts and to remain faithful to God.<p><b>and at Kibroth-hattaavah</b><br>Kibroth-hattaavah, meaning "graves of craving," is detailed in <a href="/numbers/11-4.htm">Numbers 11:4-34</a>. Here, the Israelites expressed a strong craving for meat, leading to God's provision of quail. However, their greed and lack of contentment resulted in a plague that struck many of them down. This event illustrates the dangers of succumbing to fleshly desires and the importance of contentment with God's provision. It also foreshadows the New Testament teaching on the dangers of covetousness and the need for spiritual discipline, as seen in passages like <a href="/philippians/4-11.htm">Philippians 4:11-13</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/taberah.htm">Taberah</a></b><br>This is a place where the Israelites complained, and God's anger was kindled, resulting in a fire that consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.
