4 and all drank the same aspiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.
5 But with most of them God was not well pleased, for theirbodiesawere scattered in the wilderness.
6 Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as athey also lusted.

Were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea (pantev eiv ton Mwushn ebaptisanto en th nefelh kai en th qalassh). The picture is plain enough. The mystic cloud covered the people while the sea rose in walls on each side of them as they marched across. B K L P read ebaptisanto (causative first aorist middle, got themselves baptized) while Aleph A C D have ebaptisqhsan (first aorist passive, were baptized). The immersion was complete for all of them in the sea around them and the cloud over them.
