Allowing the 24,000 to be the genuine reading, and none of the Hebrew MSS. exhibit any various reading here, the two places may be reconciled thus: 1,000 men were slain in consequence of the examination instituted Nu 25:4<\/span>, and 23,000 in consequence of the orders given Nu 25:5<\/span>; making 24,000 in the whole.

And those that died in the plague. Paul, when he says that only twenty-three thousand died, appears to differ from Moses; but we know that the exact account of numbers is not always observed, and it is probable that about twenty-four thousand were slain. Paul, therefore, subtracted one thousand, and was content with the lesser number; (185) from which, however, we may perceive how severe and terrible was the punishment, teaching us to beware of provoking God by fornication. For, as it is a monstrous thing that so great a multitude should have been infected by this foul and shameful sin, so God’s fearful judgment against adulterers and fornicators is set before us. We have already seen that, although they were guilty of a wicked rebellion, still the punishment is justly ascribed to their lust, which impelled them to idolatry. <\/p>\n (185) C. in his Commentary on 1Co 10:8<\/span>, enlarges somewhat more on this point: “There perished in one day twenty-three thousand, or, as Moses says, twenty-four thousand. Though they differ as to number, it is easy to reconcile them, as it is no unusual thing, when it is not intended to number exactly and minutely each head, to put down a number that comes near it, as among the Romans there were those that received the name of ceatumviri, (the hundred,) while in reality there were two above the hundred. As there were, therefore, about twenty-four thousand that were overthrown by the Lord’s hand — that is, above twenty-three thousand, Moses has set down the number above the mark, and Paul the number below it, and in this way there is in reality no difference.” — Cal. Soc. Edit., vol. 1, p. 324. <\/p>\n (9) Twenty and four thousand.<\/strong>In 1Co. 10:8<\/span> the number of those who fell in one day is said to have been three and twenty thousand. It has been supposed that a thousand were put to death by the judges, and that these were not included in St. Pauls enumeration. Presuming, however, that there has been no error in either place on the part of the scribes in recording the numbers, the words in one day may account for the apparent discrepancy.<\/p>\n ‘And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand.’ <\/p>\n And the number who died in the plague were the equivalent of twenty four larger families. These deaths would probably occur over a period. Paul picks up on this and speaks of ‘twenty three thousand’ dying ‘in one day’ (1Co 10:8<\/span>). As with the number here it is not to be taken arithmetically. He lessened the number to mean ‘the great majority of them’ died in one day because he recognised, or someone from whom he quoted recognised, that not all would have died on the same day, and that if he did not reduce the number this would quickly be pointed out by his opponents. But he wanted to utilise the idea of ‘in one day’ in order to make the greater impact. Numbers in fact does not say how long a period was in mind during which people died through the plague. <\/p>\n Num 25:9<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> St. Paul mentions only twenty and three thousand, <\/em>who, he says, fell in one day.<\/em> 1Co 10:8<\/span>. See Whitby on the place. But we observed before, that one<\/em> thousand <\/em>probably were put to death by the judges; and the words, in the plague, <\/em>do not signify by pestilence <\/em>only, but by any sudden stroke or destruction. The passage might be rendered, but in that destruction, or desolation, there fell twenty and four thousand. <\/em>Thus their own iniquity brought that desolation on the Israelites, which Balaam and Balak, with all their enchantments, could never have effected; and as all that generation was to perish before their posterity could enter the promised land, (see on chap. 26: Num 25:1-2<\/span>.) this terrible excision may be considered as the final stroke of the Divine vengeance on that perverse and devoted race. <\/p>\n The apostle to the Corinthians, counts three and twenty thousand. Probably the slaughter of the Judges made them both added together four and twenty thousand. Compare 1Co 10:8<\/span> , with this verse and Num 25:4<\/span> ; as also with Deu 4:3<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Num 25:9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Ver. 9. Twenty and four thousand.<\/strong> ] Twenty and three thousand, saith St Paul, 1Co 10:8 insisting only in the special punishment of the people, who were provoked to sin by that other thousand, their princes, Num 25:4 and all to show, quam frigida et ieiuna sit eorum defensio, &c., <\/em> saith Junius, a<\/em> how poorly they plead for themselves, that think to excuse their sins by alleging the examples of their superiors. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Jun., Parallel.<\/p>\n twenty and four thousand. This includes the 1,000 previously “hanged” (verses: Num 25:4, Num 25:5), as well as those who died of the “plague”. These must have been 23,000 of 1Co 10:8, which “fell in one day”. <\/p>\n St. Paul reckons only 23,000: Moses includes in the 24,000 he names, the 1,000 men who were slain in consequence of the judicial examination – Num 25:4, as well as the 23,000 who died of the plague; while St. Paul only refers to the latter.

Twenty and four thousand St. Paul mentions only twenty and three thousand, who, he says, fell in one day, 1Co 10:8. But it seems that one thousand were slain by the judges, (Num 25:5,) and twenty- three thousand by the hand of God. For what we render plague does not signify pestilence only, but any other sudden stroke. Thus did the people fall by their own wickedness, whom Balaam and Balak could never have harmed any other way.<\/p>\n And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. 9. twenty and four thousand ] S.
