Gill's Notes on the Bible
And while the flesh [was] yet between their teeth,.... When they had just got it into their mouths, and were about to bite it:
ere it was chewed; or "cut off"; or cut into pieces by the "incisores", or fore teeth, and then ground by the "molares", or grinders, and so became fit to be swallowed. Both quails and locusts were eaten as food; the former is a fat and delicious fowl, and the latter, some sorts of them, at least, were allowed clean food for the Jews, and were fed on by many people:
the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people; for their lusting after flesh, and despising the manna:
and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague; the pestilence, as Aben Ezra; or with fire, as Bochart e, who gives the following reasons why the people were so severely punished now, and not before, when they murmured on a like account; because their sin's were greater, and more aggravated, they falling again into the same sin which had been forgiven them; and besides, they were before pressed with famine, now they had a plenty of manna every day; and also were better instructed, having received the law, which was not yet given when they were just come out of Egypt. Sulpitius f the historian says, 23,000 perished at this time.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Occurrences at Kibroth-hattavah.
Numbers 11:4
The mixt multitude - The word in the original resembles our âriff-raff,â and denotes a mob of people scraped together. It refers here to the multitude of strangers (see Exodus 12:38) who had followed the Israelites from Egypt.
Numbers 11:5
The natural dainties of Egypt are set forth in this passage with the fullness and relish which bespeak personal experience.
Numbers 11:6-7
There is nothing at all ... - literally, âNought at all have we except that our eyes are unto this manna;â i. e. âNought else have we to expect beside this manna.â On the manna see Exodus 16:15 note; on bdellium see Genesis 2:12 note.
Numbers 11:10
The weeping was general; every family wept (compare Zechariah 12:12), and in a manner public and unconcealed.
Numbers 11:11-15
The complaint and remonstrance of Moses may be compared with that in 1 Kings 19:4 ff; Jonah 4:1-3, and contrasted with the language of Abraham (Genesis 18:23 ff) The meekness of Moses (compare Numbers 12:3) sank under vexation into despair. His language shows us how imperfect and prone to degeneracy are the best saints on earth.
Numbers 11:16
Seventy men of the elders of Israel - Seventy elders had also gone up with Moses to the Lord in the mount Exodus 24:1, Exodus 24:9. Seventy is accordingly the number of colleagues assigned to Moses to share his burden with him. To it, the Jews trace the origin of the Sanhedrim. Subsequent notices Numbers 16:25; Joshua 7:6; Joshua 8:10, Joshua 8:33; Joshua 9:11; Joshua 23:2; Joshua 24:1, Joshua 24:31 so connect the elders with the government of Israel as to point to the fact that the appointment now made was not a merely temporary one, though it would seem to have soon fallen into desuetude. We find no traces of it in the days of the Judges and the Kings.
Elders of the people, and officers over them - In English idiom, âelders and officers of the people.â Both elders and officers appear in Egypt (Exodus 3:16; Exodus 5:6 ff): the former had headed the nation in its efforts after freedom; the latter were the subordinate, though unwilling, agents of Egyptian tyranny. The two classes no doubt were working together; and from those who belonged to either, perhaps from those who were both eiders and officers, the council of Seventy was to be selected.
Numbers 11:17
I will take of the spirit which is upon thee - Render rather separate from the spirit, etc.; i. e. they shall have their portion in the same divine gift which thou hast.
Numbers 11:25
They prophesied - i. e. under the extraordinary impulse of the Holy Spirit they uttered forth the praises of God, or declared His will. Compare the marginal references.
And did not cease - Rather, and added not, i. e. they prophesied at this time only and not afterward. The sign was granted on the occasion of their appointment to accredit them in their office; it was not continued, because their proper function was to be that of governing not prophesying.
Numbers 11:26
Of them that were written - i. e. enrolled among the Seventy. The expression points to a regular appointment duly recorded and permanent.
Numbers 11:29
Enviest thou for my sake? - (Compare Mark 9:38 ff) The other members of the Seventy had been with Moses (compare Numbers 6:16, Numbers 6:24-25) when the gift of prophecy was bestowed on them. They received âof the spirit that was upon him,â and exercised their office visibly through and for him. Eldad and Medad prophesying in the camp seemed to Joshua to be acting independently, and so establishing a separate center of authority.
Numbers 11:31
The southeast wind, which blew from the neighboring Elanitic gulf of the Red Sea, brought the quails Exodus 16:13.
Two cubits high - Better, âtwo cubits above the face of the ground:â i. e. the quails, wearied with their long flight, flew about breast high, and were easily secured by the people, who spread them all abroad for themselves Numbers 11:32, in order to salt and dry them. The quail habitually flies with the wind, and low.
Numbers 11:32
Ten homers - About 55 bushels. Compare Leviticus 27:16.
Numbers 11:33
Ere it was chewed - Better, ere it was consumed. See Numbers 11:19-20. The surfeit in which the people indulged, as described in Numbers 11:32, disposed them to sickness. Godâs wrath, visiting the gluttonous through their gluttony, aggravated natural consequences into a supernatural visitation.
Numbers 11:34, Numbers 11:35
(Kibroth-hattaavah has been identified by Palmer with the extensive remains, graves, etc., at Erweis El Ebeirig, and Hazeroth âenclosuresâ with Ain Hadherah.)
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 11:33. The wrath of the Lord was kindled — In what way, and with what effects, we cannot precisely determine. Some heavy judgment fell upon those murmurers and complainers, but of what kind the sacred writer says nothing.
