1 Corinthians 10 (Lexham English Bible)  View In My Bible  A
History Lesson from Israel  1 For I do not want you to be
ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud
and all went through the sea, 2 and all were baptized into Moses
in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual
food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank
from the spiritual rock that followed [them], and the rock was
Christ. 5 But God was not pleased with the majority of them, for
they were struck down in the desert. 6 Now these [things]
happened [as] examples for us, so that we should not be desirers
of evil [things], just as those also desired [them], 7 and not
become idolaters, as some of them [did], just as it is written,
"The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play,"a 8
nor commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed sexual
immorality, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day, 9 nor put
Christ to the test, as some of them tested [him], and were
destroyed by snakes, 10
