010:002 All were baptized in the cloud and in the sea to be followers of Moses.
010:003 All ate the same spiritual food,
010:004 and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they long drank the water that flowed from the spiritual rock that went with them— and that rock was the Christ.
010:005 But with most of them God was not well pleased; for they
were laid low in the Desert.
010:006 And in this they became a warning to us, to teach us not to
be eager, as they were eager, in pursuit of what is evil.
010:007 And you must not be worshippers of idols, as some of them were. For it is written, "The People sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to dance."
010:008 Nor may we be fornicators, like some of them who committed
fornication and on a single day 23,000 of them fell dead.
010:009 And do not let us test the Lord too far, as some of them tested
Him and were destroyed by the serpents.
010:010 And do not be discontented, as some of them were, and they
were destroyed by the Destroyer.
010:011 All this kept happening to them with a figurative meaning; but it was put on record by way of admonition to us upon whom the ends of the Ages have come.
