Usage: Kibroth-hat-Taavh is a proper noun used to denote a specific location in the wilderness where the Israelites, during their exodus from Egypt, succumbed to their cravings for meat. It is the place where many Israelites were buried after being struck by a plague as a consequence of their complaints and desires.

Context: Kibroth-hat-Taavh is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt. The name translates to "Graves of Craving" and is significant in the narrative of the Israelites' complaints against God and Moses due to their dissatisfaction with the manna provided to them. In Numbers 11:34, the Berean Standard Bible states: "So they called that place Kibroth-hat-Taavh, because there they buried the people who had craved other food." This event highlights the Israelites' struggle with faith and obedience, as well as the consequences of yielding to sinful desires. The location serves as a somber reminder of the dangers of discontent and the importance of trust in divine provision.
