Numbers 11:1-3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Complaining in the Desert

11 And the people complained in the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes; and when the Lord heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed some outlying parts of the camp. ² Then the people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire abated. ³ So the name of that place was called Tab′erah,^[a] because the fire of the Lord burned among them.
