1 Corinthians 10:3
1 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea.
2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
They all ate the same spiritual food
4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the wilderness.
