Commentary on Numbers 25:9

Theological / Devotional

Twenty and four thousand. Compare the 23,000 of 1 Cor. 10:8. The difference may be explained by the words “fell in one day.” Or, a thousand were perhaps slain by the judges on another day and so not included in Paul’s round number of those that “fell in one day.”
