And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day’s journey on this side, and as it were a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
Then the LORD sent out a wind that brought quails from the sea and dropped them all around the camp. The quails covered the ground for about a day's walk in every direction from the camp, and they were piled up about three feet deep on the ground.
God miraculously provided meat for the Israelites by sending a wind that brought massive amounts of quail birds to their camp in the wilderness.
📚 Historical Context
This occurred during Israel's wilderness wandering after leaving Egypt, when the people complained about only having manna to eat and demanded meat. God had just told Moses He would provide meat for the entire month, not just a few days. This supernatural provision of quail demonstrated both God's power to provide and His response to the people's complaints.
