Numbers 11:19
18 “And say to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, and you will eat meat, for you have wept in the hearing of the Lord, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat, for life was good for us in Egypt?” Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you will eat. 19 You will eat, not just one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days, 20 but a whole month, until it comes out your nostrils and makes you sick, because you have despised the Lord who is among you and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we ever come out of Egypt?”’”
Exodus 16:11
10 As Aaron spoke to the whole community of the Israelites and they looked toward the wilderness, there the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud, 11 and the Lord spoke to Moses, 12 “I have heard the murmurings of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘During the evening you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be satisfied with bread, so that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’” 13 In the evening the quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning a layer of dew was all around the camp. 14 When the layer of dew had evaporated, there on the surface of the wilderness was a thin flaky substance, thin like frost on the earth.
Psalm 105:40
38 Egypt was happy when they left, for they were afraid of them. 39 He spread out a cloud for a cover, and provided a fire to light up the night. 40 They asked for food, and he sent quail; he satisfied them with food from the sky. 41 He opened up a rock and water flowed out; a river ran through dry regions. 42 Yes, he remembered the sacred promise he made to Abraham his servant.
Notes and References
"... The quails that God sent down for the complaining rabble seemed like a well-deserved punishment. After all, He had miraculously supplied them with manna in the desert, but instead of appreciating this munificence, these people actually dared to belittle it (Numbers 11:6). No wonder God spoke of the quails as of a threat ... In fact, what happened was still worse: no sooner had the people picked up the quails and started to eat them than God's anger turned against them in a great plague that struck "while the meat was yet between their teeth" (Numbers 11:33). The quails thus seemed to be part of this divine punishment for unbelief, and the fact that the site was called Kibroth-hattaavah (roughly, 'Gourmets Graveyard' only seemed to confirm that the quails and the plague came together to teach the Israelites to control their appetites. Yet some interpreters were inclined to think otherwise. To begin with, it seemed a little strange that God should at the same time give the complainers what they asked for and also punish them for asking. If their request for meat was unjustified, then why had He bothered to send the quails at all? And there was another good reason to doubt that the quails were part of any divine punishment. For this was not the first time that quails had been mentioned in connection with the Israelites' wanderings. Earlier, just after the crossing of the Red Sea, the Bible had briefly alluded to the provision of quails along with the manna ... Elsewhere as well, the quails were presented alongside the manna as twin manifestations of God's goodness ..."
