People's Commentary (NT)
1 Corinthians 10:2
Were all baptized to Moses. Canon Cook says:
``The two phrases, "Were under the cloud", and "Passed through
the sea", seem to prefigure the double process of submersion
and emersion in baptism.'
Observe that the Israelites by this event, left Egypt, escaped from
Pharaoh, and entered upon their march, with Moses as their leader, even
as Christians leave the Egypt of sin behind, and start upon the
Christian life, when they are "baptized into Christ". One of the church
Fathers, Theodoret, says:
``The sea of transition represents the laver of regeneration,
Moses foreshadows Christ, Israel the baptized disciples, the
pursuing Egyptians are the sins left behind, and Pharaoh is a
type of the devil.'
