“And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day’s journey on this side, and as it were a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.”
Then a wind from the LORD sprang up, and it drove quail from the sea and let them fall beside the camp, about a day's journey on this side and a day's journey on the other side, all around the camp, about two cubits deep on the ground — God's provision of meat arrives through a supernatural wind that brings quail from the sea. The quail cover the entire encampment area ('all around the camp'), piled 'two cubits deep' (about three feet high). The abundance is overwhelming: quail cover the ground for a day's travel in all directions. This is not a modest provision but a supernatural glut.
