Commentators explain that the place was named 'Taberah,' meaning 'burning,' to serve as a permanent memorial of God's judgment. John Gill notes this event is recorded as a specific warning for future generations, including Christians, not to murmur against God, a lesson the Apostle Paul later references in 1 Corinthians 10.
