The Key Word — קִבְרוֹת, mi.kiv.Rotgenerated
The word קִבְרוֹת (kivroth) is derived from the root that means 'to bury' and is used here to denote a place of graves. It indicates a location where the Israelites camped, and its meaning, 'graves of lust,' reflects the consequences of their cravings for meat, as noted in the surrounding context.
This word, in conjunction with הַתַּאֲוָה (hattaavah), which means 'craving' or 'desire,' emphasizes the spiritual and physical struggles of the Israelites. The use of a proper noun here indicates a specific location tied to their journey and experiences.

Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb נָסְע֥וּ (they set out) governs the main clause, with a prepositional phrase indicating the starting point, a noun phrase as the subject, and another prepositional phrase indicating the destination. This structure shows the movement of the people as they journeyed from one location to another.
The sentence flows from the action of setting out to the description of where they went and what they did, emphasizing the transition from Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth.

The Greek translation does not elaborate on the implications of Kibroth-hattaavah, focusing instead on the action of moving from one place to another.

pe'-p'-l: In English Versions of the Bible represents something over a dozen Hebrew and Greek words. Of these, in the Old Testament, `am, is overwhelmingly the most common (about 2,000 times), with le'om, and goy, next in order; but the various Hebrew words are used with very little or no difference in force (e.g. Pr 14:28; but, on the other hand, in Ps 44 contrast verses 12 and 14). Of the changes introduced by the Revised Version (British and American) the only one of significance (cited explicitly in the Preface to the English Revised Version) is the frequent use of the plural "peoples" (strangely avoided in the King James Version except Re 10:11; 17:15), where other nations than Israel are in question. So, for instance, in Ps…
