"Graves of Lust": A Warning
The name "Kibroth-hattaavah" literally means "graves of lust." Commentators like John Calvin explain this name was a divinely inspired memorial. It serves as a permanent warning, not just for Israel but for all believers, that unchecked, corrupt desires lead to destruction, a lesson the Apostle Paul later echoed in 1 Corinthians 10:6.
