Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:8

Neither let us commit fornication ... - The case referred to here was that of the licentious contact with the daughters of Moab, referred to in Numbers 25:1-9.And fell in one day - Were slain for their sin by the plague that prevailed.Three and twenty thousand - The Hebrew text in Numbers 25:9, is twenty-four thousand. In order to reconcile these statements, it may be observed that perhaps 23,000 fell directly by the plague, and 1,000 were slain by Phinehas and his companions (Grotius); or it... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Corinthians 10:7-8

1 Corinthians 10:7-8. Neither be ye idolaters By partaking of their idolatrous feasts: by no means join the heathen in these, because if the persons whose friendship you wish to cultivate, tempt you to commit idolatry, neither your superior knowledge, nor the spiritual gifts which ye possess, will secure you against their allurements: of these things you have a striking proof in the ancient Israelites. As it is written Exodus 32:6; Exodus 32:19, with relation to the feast of the golden... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 10:1-13

Warnings from history (10:1-13)Paul now illustrates from the history of Israel that some might join in the fellowship of God’s people, but miss out on the final blessing. All the people of Israel were united with Moses in their escape from Egypt and all enjoyed God’s provision through none other than Christ himself. But only two, Joshua and Caleb, entered into the blessing of the promised land. The rest disobeyed and were punished (10:1-5). (For relevant stories see Exodus 13:17-22; Exodus... read more

three and twenty thousand . See Numbers 25:1-9 where the number is given as 24,000, but this included the princes of the people of verse 4. See note there. [ Conversion note : verse 4 of what book and chapter? Numbers 25:4 ? 1 Corinthians 10:4 ? Neither verse describes "princes of the people", so I left the original text as "verse 4".] read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:8

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.Notice the list of sins: (1) we should not lust after evil things; (2) neither be idolaters; (3) neither let us commit fornication. The whole sequence was the normal procedure in idol worship.In one day three and twenty thousand ...; Numbers 25:9 gives the number who fell as 24,000; and many have been perplexed by this, even Lipscomb saying, "Why this discrepancy I am not able to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:8

1 Corinthians 10:8. Neither let us commit fornication— This was common at the many idolatrous feasts among the heathen; and it was the more proper for the Apostle to caution these Christians against it, as it was proverbially called "the Corinthian practice." See the Introduction to and Inferences on ch. 1. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 10:8

8. fornication—literally, Fornication was generally, as in this case ( :-), associated at the idol feasts with spiritual fornication, that is, idolatry. This all applied to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 5:1; 1 Corinthians 5:9; 1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 Corinthians 6:15; 1 Corinthians 6:18; 1 Corinthians 8:10). Balaam tempted Israel to both sins with Midian (1 Corinthians 8:10- :). Compare 1 Corinthians 8:7; 1 Corinthians 8:9, "stumbling-block," "eat . . . thing offered unto . . . idol." three and... read more

3. The sinfulness of idolatry 10:1-22Paul continued dealing with the subject of going to idol temples to participate in pagan feasts in this section. In it he gave a warning to the believer who considered himself strong, the one who knew there were really no gods but the true God. Such a person felt free to accept the invitation of a pagan neighbor to dine in a pagan temple (1 Corinthians 8:10). The apostle cautioned this element in the Corinthian church because, even though there are no other... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 10:6-13

The application of Israel’s example 10:6-13Though idolatry was the cause of Israel’s failure and the focus of Paul’s warning to this church, four other evil characteristics of Israel also seem to have marked the Corinthians. These characteristics also resulted in the Israelites dying in the wilderness. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Corinthians 10:8

Second, the Israelites practiced immorality (lit. fornication) when they participated in one of the Moabites’ religious feasts (Numbers 25:1-9). Paul said 23,000 Israelites died in one day. Moses in Numbers 25:9 said 24,000 died as a result of the plague God sent to judge the people. There is, therefore, no conflict between the numbers since they describe somewhat different groups of people. Another explanation that has been suggested is that the larger number included Israel’s leaders, and the... read more
