Numbers 11:3 Context
1And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it: and his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the vttermost parts of the campe. 2And the people cried vnto Moses, and when Moses prayed vnto the Lord, the fire was quenched. 3And hee called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them. 4¶ And the mixt multitude that was among them, fell a lusting, and the children of Israel also wept againe, and said, Who shal giue vs flesh to eate? 5We remember the fish which wee did eate in Egypt freely: the cucumbers and the melons, and the leekes, and the onions, and the garlicke.

Wesley's Notes for Numbers 11:3
11:3 Taberah - This fire; as it was called Kibroth - hattaavah from another occasion, #Nu 11:34|,35, and #Num 33:16|. It is no new thing in scripture for persons and places to have two names. Both these names were imposed as monuments of the peoples sin and of God's just judgment.
