Quick answer
From Kibroth Hattaavah they journeyed to Hazeroth. This stage recalls the place of Miriam and Aaron's challenge to Moses.
Overview
Israel moves to Hazeroth, where Miriam and Aaron opposed Moses and Miriam was struck with leprosy for a time. The site recalls the seriousness of opposing God's appointed leader. The itinerary thus quietly recalls episodes of both human failure and God's vindication of His servant, lessons preserved for the instruction of later generations.
