Re: [TruthTalk] 1 Cor. 10:8

Thanks Judy.  I cannot find anything saying how many leaders were hung but that is very likely the event to which Paul refers.  It is closer than any other recorded event that I can find.. 'preciate your effort.

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?
