Numbers 25:4 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.

), as well as the 23,000 who died of the plague; while St. Paul only refers to the latter.

Numbers 25:4-5 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. ... And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.

Numbers 16:49-50 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah. ... And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
