Números 25:9 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 25:9

And those that died in the plague were twenty and four
thousand.
] The apostle says 23,000 ( 1 Corinthians 10:8 ) . Moses includes those that were hanged against the sun, in the time of the plague, as well as those that were taken off by it, even all that died on this account; the apostle only those that "fell", which cannot with propriety be said of those that were hanged, who might be 1000 and so their numbers agree; but of this and other ways of removing this difficulty (See Gill on 1 Corinthians 10:8).

Números 25:9 In-Context

7 De esto se dio cuenta el sacerdote Fin茅s, que era hijo de Eleazar y nieto del sacerdote Aar贸n. Fin茅s abandon贸 la asamblea y, lanza en mano,
8 sigui贸 al hombre, entr贸 en su tienda y atraves贸 al israelita y a la mujer. De este modo ces贸 la mortandad que se hab铆a desatado contra los israelitas.
9 Con todo, los que murieron a causa de la plaga fueron veinticuatro mil.
10 El SE脩OR le dijo a Mois茅s:
11 芦Fin茅s, hijo de Eleazar y nieto del sacerdote Aar贸n, ha hecho que mi ira se aparte de los israelitas, pues ha actuado con el mismo celo que yo habr铆a tenido por mi honor. Por eso no destru铆 a los israelitas con el furor de mi celo.
