1. And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
2. and all to Moses were baptized in the cloud, and in the sea;
3. and all the same spiritual food did eat,
4. and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ;
5. but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,
6. and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.
7. Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written, `The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play;'
8. neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand;
9. neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by the serpents did perish;
10. neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer.
