1 Corinthians 10:1-5

Learn from Israel, Flee Idolatry, and Seek the Good of Others for God’s Glory

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea.

2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.

3 They all ate the same spiritual food

4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.
