29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

They all ate the same spiritual food(A) and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock(B) that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.(C)

Now these things occurred as examples(D) to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. Do not be idolaters,(E) as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”[a](F) We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.(G) We should not test Christ,[b](H) as some of them did—and were killed by snakes.(I) 10 And do not grumble, as some of them did(J)—and were killed(K) by the destroying angel.(L)
