The Children of Israel - Do Not Be Idolaters as Some of Them Did, and Were Not

The children of israel did not want to go back to egypt, they wanted this other god. Paul warns them against idolatry as a warning that's the surest way to have something lik tis happen. The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play; rising up to play is the event where they committed idolatry. We must not indulge in sexual immorality, as some of them did, and 23 thousand fell in a single day. And we must not put christ to the test, asSome of them did,. They were destroyed by serpents, nor grumble as some of their did, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
