Preferred form of place name

edit

Which is the preferred form of place name? The article title is Kibroth Hattaavah but all references in the text are to Kibroth-hattaavah BobKilcoyne (talk) 05:22, 14 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

I've now amended the opening words of the article to show both variant spellings. BobKilcoyne (talk) 00:10, 22 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Contradiction?

edit

Quote, "The narrative goes on to tell of a huge number of quails brought by the winds to both sides of the Israelite encampment, which the people gathered, but Yahweh sent a plague as they were chewing the meat. The text had previously stated that the Israelites would have been able to consume quail for a month."

There isn't a contradiction between verses 20 and 33 as the article currently implies; this is based on a misunderstanding/mistranslation of the Hebrew. The English says, "before it was chewed", but the original Hebrew uses the word, "יִכָּרֵ֧ת", or "cut off". That is to say, a month had gone by as God foretold, and they ate the food during that month, but before the food was CUT OFF from them, He sent the plague. I don't edit Wikipedia very often so I don't really know how to edit this information into the article itself, but it does need correcting somehow.

Update April 2017: Never mind, I managed to update the article myself. I tried my best - if there are any formatting errors, sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:982:C201:4172:3CAA:DF4E:6B3B:410 (talk) 20:32, 26 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
