1 CORINTHIANS—NOTE ON 1 Corinthians 10:3 spiritual food... drink. Paul refers to God providing Israel with bread from heaven (“manna,” Exodus 16:1) and water from a rock. This rock appears at the beginning of their desert wanderings (Exodus 17:1) and near the end (Numbers 20:2). “Rock” is a common OT name for God (e.g., Deuteronomy 32:4), perhaps leading Paul to identify the rock with Christ.
