SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:3
Y llamó a aquel lugar Tabera; porque el fuego del SEÑOR se encendió en ellos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. And he called the name of the place Taberah , etc.] That is, “burning”: Moses called it so; or it may be rendered impersonally, it was called so in later times by the people: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them ; to perpetuate the, memory of this kind of punishment for their sins, that it might be a terror and warning to others; and this history is indeed recorded for our caution in these last days, that we murmur not as these Israelites did, and were destroyed of the destroyer, ( 1 Corinthians 10:10,11).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-3 - Here is the people's sin; they complained. See the sinfulness of sin which takes occasion from the commandment to be provoking. The weaknes of the law discovered sin, but could not destroy it; checked, but coul not conquer it. They complained. Those who are of a discontente spirit, will always find something to quarrel or fret about, though the circumstances of their outward condition be ever so favourable. The Lord heard it, though Moses did not. God knows the secret frettings an murmurings of the heart, though concealed from men. What he noticed, he was much displeased with, and he chastised them for this sin. The fir of their wrath against God burned in their minds; justly did the fir of God's wrath fasten on their bodies; but God's judgments came on the gradually, that they might take warning. It appeared that God delight not in punishing; when he begins, he is soon prevailed with to let it fall.
