TABERAH tăb ə rə (תַּבְעֵרָ֑ה). The word means “burning,” and the story of the Lord’s visitation of fire on the camp (Num 11:1-3) gives the reason for the word. The story itself is obscure, and it is not clear whether the burning fire is to be taken literally, or as a symbol of some act of judgment. The place is mentioned again in Deuteronomy 9:22, but not listed in the wilderness stations recorded in Numbers 33.
