Quails
Quails were migratory birds miraculously supplied by God as food for Israel in the wilderness. Large numbers were brought near the camp, where the people gathered and prepared them.
Biblical Usage
God provided quails for Israel in the wilderness of Sin and again at Kibroth-hattaavah. The supply is described as a divine relief from privation, though the account also records the people’s gathering of the birds in large quantities.
