1 I want you to remember, my brothers and sisters, what happened to our ancestors who followed Moses. They were all under the protection of the cloud, and all passed safely through the Red Sea.
2 In the cloud and in the sea they were all baptized as followers of Moses.
3 All ate the same spiritual bread
4 and drank the same spiritual drink. They drank from the spiritual rock that went with them; and that rock was Christ himself.
5 But even then God was not pleased with most of them, and so their dead bodies were scattered over the desert.
6 Now, all this is an example for us, to warn us not to desire evil things, as they did,
7 nor to worship idols, as some of them did. As the scripture says, “The people sat down to a feast which turned into an orgy of drinking and sex.”
