When the Hebrew children were wandering in the wilderness, getting sick and tired of manna and moaning and groaning for meat, God sent them birds with an east wind that brought them 2 cubits deep, all about the camp of over 600,000 people.
A cubit being about 18 inches.
The Hebrew children paid a tremendous toll for all their bitching though.
He had also told them he would send them meat until it came out their nostrils.
Fortean Bump.
