A station of the Israelites in the wilderness on the journey from Sinai to Kadesh (Numbers 11:34, 33:16). The name, which means "the graves of lust," was given to the place on account of its being the burial-ground of the multitudes that died through glutting themselves with quail flesh (Numbers 11:34). It would seem from Numbers 11:3,4, that Kibrothhattaavah was identical with Taberah, which was three days' journey from Sinai (comp. ib. 10:33). In Deuteronomy 9:22, however, the two stations are mentioned as distinct places. Kibroth-hattaavah is identified by Schwarz ("Das Heilige Land," p. 213) with the modern 'Ain al-Shihabah, in the interior of the desert (comp. Robinson, "Researches," 1:264).
