“How is it that the graves of lust where the people fell in their devotion to flesh remain even to this day in the wilderness? Do we not read that the stupid people gorged themselves with quails until the wrath of God came upon them?”
Jerome, 5th c. — AGAINST JOVINIAN 2.17

In context
32And 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.
33And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
— Numbers 11:34 —
35And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
