Matthew Poole and continuators on Numbers 25:9

9 And those that died in the plague, were twenty and four thousand .

Object. They were but 23000. 1 Cor. 10. 8. Answ. The odde thousand here added were slain by the Judges according to the order of Moses, the rest by the immediate hand of God, but both sorts died of the plague, the word being used, as oft it is, for the sword or hand or stroke of God.
