And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.

Verse 32 is found in chapter 11 of Numbers. God provides quail in abundance, but the fulfillment of the people’s disordered desire is accompanied by judgment. The place is named Kibroth-hattaavah, associated with the burial of those overcome by craving. The account presents a tension between provision and judgment: receiving what one demands does not necessarily mean that the desire was morally right.

Da machte sich das Volk auf denselben ganzen Tag und die ganze Nacht und den ganzen andern Tag und sammelten Wachteln; und welcher am wenigsten sammelte, der sammelte zehn Homer. Uns sie hängten sie auf um das Lager her.
Entonces el pueblo estuvo levantado todo aquel día, y toda la noche, y todo el día siguiente, y recogiéronse codornices: el que menos, recogió diez montones; y las tendieron para sí a lo largo en derredor del campo.
Pendant tout ce jour et toute la nuit, et pendant toute la journée du lendemain, le peuple se leva et ramassa les cailles; celui qui en avait ramassé le moins en avait dix homers. Ils les étendirent pour eux autour du camp.
E il popolo si levò, e tutto quel giorno, e tutta quella notte, e tutto il dì seguente, raccolse delle quaglie; chi ne raccolse il meno, ne raccolse dieci omer; poi se le distesero al largo intorno al campo.
Então o povo se levantou todo aquele dia e toda aquela noite, e todo o dia seguinte, e colheram as codornizes; o que menos tinha, colhera dez ômeres; e as estenderam para si ao redor do arraial.
百姓起來,整天整夜,甚至次日一整天,都在捕捉鵪鶉。每人至少捉到十賀梅珥,各自擺在營的四圍。
