Answer:

                Are you in a position to say the count of the people, who got AIDS through the fornication in any country? Are you in a position to say in which year and how many persons are died by AIDS? If you are not in a position to say, it is the highest position for your ignorance to ask the count of Israelites who died by fornication in the Holy Bible.

                1 Corinthians 10:8 is about the number of people died in ONE day. Whereas Numbers 25:9 is about all the people died due to the plague. First, there were 23000 people died in one day because of fornication. Then Moses enquired about the reason for these deaths and found the solution as per Numbers 25:1-9. Numbers 25:4 KJV - "And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.". Numbers 25:8 KJV - "And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel."  So total number of people died due to the fornication (plague) is: 23000(on day 1) + Number of people hanged to death + 2 killed by sword + deaths on other days until plague stopped = 24,000.
