2 They were all baptized as followers of Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
3 They all ate the same spiritual food,
4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. They drank from that spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ.
5 But God was not pleased with most of them, so they died in the desert.
6 And these things happened as examples for us, to stop us from wanting evil things as those people did.
7 Do not worship idols, as some of them did. Just as it is written in the Scriptures: “They sat down to eat and drink, and then they got up and sinned sexually.”
8 We must not take part in sexual sins, as some of them did. In one day twenty-three thousand of them died because of their sins.
