22You continued to provoke the LORD at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah. 23And when the LORD sent you out from Kadesh-barnea, He said, “Go up and possess the land that I have given you.”
What’s in a name?
Taberah means “burning”, burning fires of God’s judgment, where the Israelites immediately complained.
Massah means “tempted”, where Israel provoked the LORD by doubting His loving care.
Kibroth Hattaavah “graves of craving” the place where Israel longed for meat instead of manna, and God gave them meat.
It’s a good thing that the Lord doesn’t rename a place every time we complain, are tempted or have a craving because we’d be continually lost!
Let these verses be a lesson for us, don’t wander through life complaining, tempted and craving. Find happiness in Jesus Christ.
Blessings
