Quail, Greed, and the Plague at Kibroth-hattaavah
YHWH sends an enormous supply of quail, but the people gather it greedily and judgment strikes while the meat is still with them. Psalm 78 later retells this event as an example of testing God and refusing to trust him even after his provision.
Psalm 78 explicitly recalls the wind-driven quail and the judgment that struck Israel while their craving was being satisfied, providing an inspired retelling of the Numbers 11 climax.
