1 Corinthians 10:1-7

1For I do not want you to be unaware, believers, that our fathers were all under the cloud [in which God’s presence went before them] and they all passed [miraculously and safely] through the [Red] Sea;

2And all [of them] were baptized into Moses [into his safekeeping as their leader] in the cloud and in the sea;

3and all [of them] ate the same spiritual food;

4and all [of them] drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.

5Nevertheless, God was not well-pleased with most of them, for they were scattered along the ground in the wilderness [because their lack of self-control led to disobedience which led to death].

6Now these things [the warnings and admonitions] took place as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did.

7Do not be worshipers of handmade gods, as some of them were; just as it is written [in Scripture], “The people sat down to eat and drink [after sacrificing to the golden calf at Horeb], and stood up to play [indulging in immoral activities].”
