People's Commentary (NT)
1 Corinthians 10:8
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed. The
fornication with the Midianites (Numbers 25:1-10). Fornication was also
one of the besetting sins of Corinth (1 Corinthians 5:1 16:3,18 7:2).
And fell in one day three and twenty thousand. In Numbers 25:9 it is
stated that 24,000 lost their lives. Paul names 23,000 as the number
who lost their lives by the plague. The number was no doubt between
23,000 and 24,000, and is stated in each place by a round sum,
according to Jewish custom, Paul naming the smaller.
