[TruthTalk] 1 Cor. 10:8

[Judy Taylor]

Hi Terry: Good to see we've still got a "live one" on TT :) Just checked the scriptures  It seems that in Numbers 25:4 Moses was told to have the leaders killed and hang their heads before the Lord -  Then later on in Numbers 25:9 we are told that 23,000 died in the plague; so the total is 24,000 when you add the leaders who were slain to the ones who died in the plague. They sure paid a price for their whoredoms - didn't they?    Good thing to remember, Grace and Peace to you and Vee, Judy     In our home church, we are working our way through Proverbs in the OT and 1Cor. in the NT.  This week, we will look at I Cor., tenth chapter, and I am studying ahead so as to have some idea of what we are seeing.   Problem is, Paul says ( verse eight )  that in one day, 23,000 israelis were killed because of sexual sin on their part, and I cannot find that information in the OT.  Three thousand died in Exodus 32, but that was for idolatry, and 24,00 died in Numbers 25, but I can find no record of the 23,000. Anyone have any idea?
