1. I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that all our ancestors ⌊who left Egypt⌋ were under the cloud, and they all went through the sea.
2. They were all united with Moses by baptism in the cloud and in the sea.
3. All of them ate the same spiritual food,
4. and all of them drank the same spiritual drink. They drank from the spiritual rock that went with them, and that rock was Christ.
5. Yet, God was not pleased with most of them, so their dead bodies were scattered over the desert.
6. These things have become examples for us so that we won’t desire what is evil, as they did.
7. So don’t worship false gods as some of them did, as Scripture says, “The people sat down to a feast which turned into an orgy.”
8. We shouldn’t sin sexually as some of them did. Twenty-three thousand of them died on one day.
9. We shouldn’t put the Lord to the test as some of them did. They were killed by snakes.
