1For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

2and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

3and all ate the same spiritual food

4and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was the Messiah.

5Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.
