³⁷ were struck dead with a plague before the Lord.

⁴⁹ But 14,700 people died in that plague, in addition to those who had died in the affair involving Korah.

¹⁰ And don’t grumble as some of them did, and then were destroyed by the angel of death.

⁵ So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus^[a] first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later he destroyed those who did not remain faithful.
