those who died in the plague
on Numbers 25:9-10
Numbers gives 24,000 and 1 Corinthians 10:8 gives "twenty-three thousand", with Paul adding that they died "in one day". Numbers gives no span and Paul gives one day, so the two figures stand as written, unsettled by the text.
This site's exposition
Then the LORD said to Moses
John Gill places this word after the plague had ended and after the act of Phinehas that stopped it. He supposes it came from the tabernacle, at whose door the people had been weeping in verse 6.
