Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 9. - Were twenty and four thousand. "Fell in one day three and twenty thousand," says St. Paul (1 Corinthians 10:8). As the Septuagint does not deviate here from the Hebrew, the Apostle must have followed some Rabbinical tradition. It is possible enough that the odd thousand died on some other day than the one of which he speaks, or they may have died by the hands of the judges, and not by the plague.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) Twenty and four thousand.--In 1Corinthians 10:8 the number of those who "fell in one day" is said to have been "three and twenty thousand." It has been supposed that a thousand were put to death by the judges, and that these were not included in St. Paul's enumeration. Presuming, however, that there has been no error in either place on the part of the scribes in recording the numbers, the words "in one day" may account for the apparent discrepancy.
