1 I do not want you⁺ to be unaware, brothers (and sisters), that our forefathers {pateres} were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea. 2 They were all baptized (submerged) into Moses (drawn out) 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 (the Anointed One). 5 Nevertheless, God {Theos} was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness (solitary place). 6 These things took place as examples to keep us from craving evil things as they did. 7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry (to play).” 8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. 1 Corinthians 10:1-8, Berean Annotated Bible.
