10:2. And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud and in the sea:
In Moses.... Under the conduct of Moses, they received baptism in figure, by passing under the cloud, and through the sea; and they partook of the body and blood of Christ in figure, by eating of the manna, (called here a spiritual food because it was a figure of the true bread which comes down from heaven,) and drinking the water, miraculously brought out of the rock, called here a spiritual rock, because it was also a figure of Christ.
10:3. And did all eat the same spiritual food:
10:4. And all drank the same spiritual drink: (And they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.)
10:5. But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.
10:6. Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things, as they also coveted.
10:7. Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.
10:8. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication: and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
10:9. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them tempted and perished by the serpents.
10:10. Neither do you murmur, as some of them murmured and were destroyed by the destroyer.
