"Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day."
— 1 Corinthians 10:8, Bible in Basic English
“Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.”
But with most of them God was not pleased: for they came to their end in the waste land.
Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.
Then do not go after false gods, as some of them did; as it is said in the holy Writings, After resting and feasting, the people got up to take their pleasure.
Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.
And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes.
And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.
Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.
