drink-- (Exo 17:6). In Num 20:8, "the beasts" also are mentioned as having drunk. The literal water typified "spiritual drink," and is therefore so called.
spiritual Rock that followed them--rather, "accompanied them." Not the literal rock (or its water) "followed" them, as ALFORD explains, as if Paul sanctioned the Jews' tradition (Rabbi Solomon on Num 20:2) that the rock itself, or at least the stream from it, followed the Israelites from place to place (compare Deu 9:21). But Christ, the "Spiritual Rock" (Psa 78:20, Psa 78:35; Deu 32:4, Deu 32:15, Deu 32:18, Deu 32:30-31, Deu 32:37; Isa 28:16; Pe1 2:6), accompanied them (Exo 33:15). "Followed" implies His attending on them to minister to them; thus, though mostly going before them, He, when occasion required it, followed "behind" (Exo 14:19). He satisfied all alike as to their bodily thirst whenever they needed it; as on three occasions is expressly recorded (Exo 15:24-25; Exo 17:6; Num 20:8); and this drink for the body symbolized the spiritual drink from the Spiritual Rock (compare Joh 4:13-14; see on Co1 10:3). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And did all drink the same spiritual drink - The idea here is essentially the same as in the previous verse, that they had been highly favored of God, and enjoyed tokens of the divine care and guardianship. That was manifested in the miraculous supply of water in the desert, thus showing that they were under the divine protection, and were objects of the divine favor. There can be no doubt that by "spiritual drink" here, the apostle refers to the water that was made to gush from the rock that was smitten by Moses. Exo 17:6; Num 20:11. Why this is called "spiritual" has been a subject on which there has been much difference of opinion. It cannot be because there was anything special in the nature of the water, for it was evidently real water, suited to allay their thirst. There is no evidence, as many have supposed, that there was a reference in this to the drink used in the Lord's Supper. But it must mean that it was bestowed in a miraculous and supernatural manner; and the word "spiritual" must be used in the sense of supernatural, or that which is immediately given by God. Spiritual blessings thus stand opposed to natural and temporal blessings, and the former denote those which are immediately given by God as an evidence of the divine favor. That the Jews used the word "spiritual" in this manner is evident from the writings of the Rabbis. Thus, they called the manna "spiritual food" (Yade Mose in Shemor Rabba, fol. 109. 3); and their sacrifices they called "spiritual bread" (Tzeror Hammer, fol. 93. 2). - Gill. The drink, therefore, here referred to was that bestowed in a supernatural manner and as a proof of the divine favor.
For they drank of that spiritual Rock - Of the waters which flowed from that Rock. The Rock here is called "spiritual," not from anything special in the nature of the rock, but because it was the source to them of supernatural mercies, and became thus the emblem and demonstration of the divine favor, and of spiritual mercies conferred upon them by God.
That followed them - Margin. "Went with" ἀκολουθούσης akolouthousēs. This evidently cannot mean that the rock itself literally followed them, any more than that they literally drank the rock, for one is as expressly affirmed, if it is taken literally, as the other. But as when it is said they "drank of the rock," it must mean that they drank of the water that flowed from the rock; so when it is said that the "rock followed" or accompanied them, it must mean that the water that flowed from the rock accompanied them. This figure of speech is common everywhere. Thus, the Saviour said Co1 11:25, "This cup is the new testament," that is, the wine in this cup represents my blood, etc.; and Paul says Co1 11:25, Co1 11:27, "whosoever shall drink this cup of the Lord unworthily," that is, the wine in the cup, etc., and "as often as ye drink this cup," etc., that is, the wine contained in the cup. It would be absurd to suppose that the rock that was smitten by Moses literally followed them in the wilderness; and there is not the slightest evidence in the Old Testament that it did. Water was twice brought out of a rock to supply the needs of the children of Israel. Once at Mount Horeb, as recorded in Exo 17:6, in the wilderness of Sin, in the first year of their departure from Egypt. The second time water was brought from a rock about the time of the death of Miriam at Kadesh, and probably in the 40th year of their departure from Egypt, Num 20:1. It was to the former of these occasions that the apostle evidently refers. In regard to this we may observe:
(1) That there must have been furnished a large quantity of water to have supplied the needs of more than two million people.
(2) it is expressly stated Deu 9:21), that "the brook נחל nachal, stream, torrent, or river, see Num 34:5; Jos 15:4, Jos 15:47; Kg1 8:65; Kg2 24:7) descended out of the mount," and was evidently a stream of considerable size.
(3) mount Horeb was higher than the adjacent country, and the water that thus gushed from the rock, instead of collecting into a pool and becoming stagnant, would flow off in the direction of the sea.
(4) the sea to which it would naturally flow would be the Red Sea, in the direction of the Eastern or Elanitic branch of that sea.
(5) the Israelites would doubtless, in their journeyings, be influenced by the natural direction of the water, or would not wander far from it, as it was daily needful for the supply of their needs.
(6) at the end of thirty-seven years we find the Israelites at Ezion-geber, a seaport on the eastern branch of the Red Sea, where the waters probably flowed into the sea; Num 33:36. In the 40th year of their departure from Egypt, they left this place to go into Canaan by the country of Edom, and were immediately in distress again by the lack of water. It is thus probable that the water from the rock continued to flow, and that it constituted a stream, or river; that it was near their camp all the time until they came to Ezion-geber; and that thus, together with the daily supply of manna, it was a proof of the protection of God, and an emblem of their dependence. If it be said that there is now no such stream to be found there, it is to be observed that it is represented as miraculous, and that it would be just as reasonable to look for the daily descent of manna there in quantities sufficient to supply more than two million people, as to expect to find the gushing and running river of water. The only question is, whether God can work a miracle, and whether there is evidence that he has done it. This is not the place to examine that question. But the evidence is as strong that he performed this miracle as that he gave the manna, and neither of them is inconsistent with the power, the wisdom, or the benevolence of God.
And that Rock was Christ - This cannot be intended to be understood literally, for it was not literally true. The rock from which the water flowed was evidently an ordinary rock, a part of Mount Horeb; and all that this can mean is, that that rock, with the stream of water thus gushing from it, was a representation of the Messiah. The word was is thus often used to denote similarity or representation, and is not to be taken literally. Thus, in the institution of the Lord's Supper, the Saviour says of the bread, "This is my body," that is, it represents my body. Thus, also of the cup, "This cup is the new testament in my blood," that is, it represents my blood, Co1 11:24-25. Thus, the gushing fountain of water might be regarded as a representation of the Messiah, and of the blessings which result from him. The apostle does not say that the Israelites knew that this was designed to be a representation of the Messiah, and of the blessings which flow from him, though there is nothing improbable in the supposition that they so understood and regarded it, since all their institutions were probably regarded as typical. But he evidently does mean to say that the rock was a vivid and affecting representation of the Messiah; that the Jews did partake of the mercies that flow from him; and that even in the desert they were under his care, and had in fact among them a vivid representation of him in some sense corresponding with the emblematic representation of the same favors which the Corinthian and other Christians had in the Lord's Supper. This representation of the Messiah, perhaps, was understood by Paul to consist in the following things:
(1) Christians, like the children of Israel, are passing through the world as pilgrims, and to them that world is a wilderness - a desert.
(2) they need continued supplies, as the Israelites did, in their journey. The world, like that wilderness, does not meet their necessities, or supply their needs.
(3) that rock was a striking representation of the fulness of the Messiah, of the abundant grace which he imparts to his people.
(4) it was an illustration of their continued and constant dependence on him for the daily supply of their needs. It should be observed that many expositors understand this literally. Bloomfield translates it: "and they were supplied with drink from the spiritual Rock which followed them, even Christ." So Rosenmuller, Calvin, Glass, etc. In defense of this interpretation, it is said, that the Messiah is often called "a rock" in the Scriptures; that the Jews believe that the "angel of Jehovah" who who attended them (Exo 3:2, and other places) was the Messiah; and that the design of the apostle was, to show that this "attending Rock," the Messiah, was the source of all their blessings, and particularly of the water that gushed from the rock. But the interpretation suggested above seems to me to be most natural. The design of the apostle is apparent. It is to show to the Corinthians, who relied so much on their privileges, and felt themselves so secure, that the Jews had the very same privileges - had the highest tokens of the divine favor and protection, were under the guidance and grace of God, and were partakers constantly of that which adumbrated or typified the Messiah, in a manner as real, and in a form as much suited to keep up the remembrance of their dependence, as even the bread and wine in the Lord's Supper. |

Drink - spiritual drink
Spiritual, like the meat, in being supernaturally given. The aorist tense denotes something past, yet without limiting it to a particular occasion. They drank at Rephidim (Exo 17:6), but they continued to drink spiritual drink, for -
They drank (ἔπινον)
The imperfect tense denoting continued action - throughout their journey.
That spiritual rock
For that read a. Paul appears to recall a rabbinic tradition that there was a well formed out of the spring in Horeb, which gathered itself up into a rock like a swarm of bees, and followed the people for forty years; sometimes rolling itself, sometimes carried by Miriam, and always addressed by the elders, when they encamped, with the words, "Spring up, O well!" Num 21:17. Stanley says: "In accordance with this notion, the Rock of Moses, as pointed out by the local tradition of Mt. Sinai, is not a cleft in the mountain, but a detached fragment of rock about fifteen feet high, with twelve or more fissures in its surface, from which the water is said to have gushed out for the twelve tribes. This local tradition is as old as the Koran, which mentions this very stone."
Was Christ
Showing that he does not believe the legend, but only uses it allegorically. The important point is that Christ the Word was with His people under the old covenant. "In each case we recognize the mystery of a 'real presence"' (Ellicott). "God was in Christ" here, as from the beginning. The mosaic and the christian economies are only different sides of one dispensation, which is a gospel dispensation throughout. The Jewish sacraments are not mere types of ours. They are identical. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| And all drank the same spiritual drink - Typical of Christ, and of that cup which we drink. For they drank out of the spiritual or mysterious rock, the wonderful streams of which followed them in their several journeyings, for many years, through the wilderness. And that rock was a manifest type of Christ - The Rock of Eternity, from whom his people derive those streams of blessings which follow them through all this wilderness. Exo 17:6. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Spiritual drink - By the βρωμα πνευματικον spiritual meat, and πομα πνευματικον, spiritual drink, the apostle certainly means both meat and drink, which were furnished to the Israelitish assembly miraculously, as well as typically: and he appears to borrow his expression from the Jews themselves, who expressly say הלחם הלז רוחני hallechem hallaz ruchani, that bread was spiritual, and מיים רוחניים היו meyim ruchainiyim haiu, the waters were spiritual. Alschech in legem. fol. 238, to which opinion the apostle seems particularly to refer. See Schoettgen.
The spiritual rock that followed them - There is some difficulty in this verse. How could the rock follow them? It does not appear that the rock ever moved from the place where Moses struck it. But to solve this difficulty, it is said that rock here is put, by metonymy, for the water of the rock; and that this water did follow them through the wilderness. This is more likely; but we have not direct proof of it. The ancient Jews, however, were of this opinion, and state that the streams followed them in all their journeyings, up the mountains, down the valleys, etc., etc.; and that when they came to encamp, the waters formed themselves into cisterns and pools; and that the rulers of the people guided them, by their staves, in rivulets to the different tribes and families. And this is the sense they give to Num 21:17 : Spring up, O well, etc. See the places in Schoettgen.
Others contend, that by the rock following them we are to understand their having carried of its waters with them on their journeyings. This we know is a common custom in these deserts to the present day; and that the Greek verb ακολουθεω, to follow, has this sense, Bishop Pearce has amply proved in his note on this place. The Jews suppose that the rock itself went with the Israelites, and was present with them in their thirty-eight stations, for only so many are mentioned. See Alschech in legem. fol. 236. And see Schoettgen.
Now, though of all the senses already given that of Bishop Pearce is the best, yet it does appear that the apostle does not speak about the rock itself, but of Him whom it represented; namely, Christ: this was the Rock that followed them, and ministered to them; and this view of the subject is rendered more probable by what is said Co1 10:9, that they tempted Christ, and were destroyed by serpents. The same rock is in the vale of Rephidim to the present day; and it bears aboriginal marks of the water that flowed from it in the fissures that appear on its sides. It is one block of fine granite, about seven yards long, five broad, and - high. A fragment of this typical rock now lies before me, brought by a relative of my own, who broke it off, and did not let it pass into any hand till he placed it in mine. See the note on Exo 17:6. |
3 And [2532] did [5315] all [3956] eat [5315] the same [846] spiritual [4152] meat [1033];
13 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto her [846], Whosoever [3956] drinketh [4095] of [1537] this [5127] water [5204] shall thirst [1372] again [3825]:
14 But [1161] whosoever [3739] [302] drinketh [4095] of [1537] the water [5204] that [3739] I [1473] shall give [1325] him [846] shall [1372] never [1519] [165] [3364] thirst [1372]; but [235] the water [5204] that [3739] I shall give [1325] him [846] shall be [1096] in [1722] him [846] a well [4077] of water [5204] springing up [242] into [1519] everlasting [166] life [2222].
8 Take [03947] the rod [04294], and gather [06950] thou the assembly [05712] together, thou, and Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251], and speak [01696] ye unto the rock [05553] before their eyes [05869]; and it shall give forth [05414] his water [04325], and thou shalt bring forth [03318] to them water [04325] out of the rock [05553]: so thou shalt give [08248] the congregation [05712] and their beasts [01165] drink [08248].
6 Behold, I will stand [05975] before [06440] thee there upon the rock [06697] in Horeb [02722]; and thou shalt smite [05221] the rock [06697], and there shall come [03318] water [04325] out of it, that the people [05971] may drink [08354]. And Moses [04872] did [06213] so in the sight [05869] of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478].
24 And the people [05971] murmured [03885] against Moses [04872], saying [0559], What shall we drink [08354]?
25 And he cried [06817] unto the LORD [03068]; and the LORD [03068] shewed [03384] him a tree [06086], which when he had cast [07993] into the waters [04325], the waters [04325] were made sweet [04985]: there he made [07760] for them a statute [02706] and an ordinance [04941], and there he proved [05254] them,
19 And the angel [04397] of God [0430], which went [01980] before [06440] the camp [04264] of Israel [03478], removed [05265] and went [03212] behind [0310] them; and the pillar [05982] of the cloud [06051] went [05265] from before their face [06440], and stood [05975] behind [0310] them:
15 And he said [0559] unto him, If thy presence [06440] go [01980] not with me, carry us not up [05927] hence.
6 Wherefore [1352] also [2532] it is contained [4023] in [1722] the scripture [1124], Behold [2400], I lay [5087] in [1722] Sion [4622] a chief corner [204] stone [3037], elect [1588], precious [1784]: and [2532] he that believeth [4100] on [1909] him [846] shall [2617] not be [3364] confounded [2617].
16 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], Behold, I lay [03245] in Zion [06726] for a foundation a stone [068], a tried [0976] stone [068], a precious [03368] corner [06438] stone, a sure [03245] foundation [04143]: he that believeth [0539] shall not make haste [02363].
37 And he shall say [0559], Where are their gods [0430], their rock [06697] in whom they trusted [02620],
30 How should one [0259] chase [07291] a thousand [0505], and two [08147] put ten [07233] thousand [0505] to flight [05127], except [03808] their Rock [06697] had sold [04376] them [03588], and the LORD [03068] had shut them up [05462]?
31 For their rock [06697] is not as our Rock [06697], even our enemies [0341] themselves being judges [06414].
18 Of the Rock [06697] that begat [03205] thee thou art unmindful [07876], and hast forgotten [07911] God [0410] that formed [02342] thee.
15 But Jeshurun [03484] waxed fat [08080], and kicked [01163]: thou art waxen fat [08080], thou art grown thick [05666], thou art covered [03780] with fatness; then he forsook [05203] God [0433] which made [06213] him, and lightly esteemed [05034] the Rock [06697] of his salvation [03444].
4 He is the Rock [06697], his work [06467] is perfect [08549]: for all his ways [01870] are judgment [04941]: a God [0410] of truth [0530] and without iniquity [05766], just [06662] and right [03477] is he.
35 And they remembered [02142] that God [0430] was their rock [06697], and the high [05945] God [0410] their redeemer [01350].
20 Behold, he smote [05221] the rock [06697], that the waters [04325] gushed out [02100], and the streams [05158] overflowed [07857]; can [03201] he give [05414] bread [03899] also? can [03201] he provide [03559] flesh [07607] for his people [05971]?
21 And I took [03947] your sin [02403], the calf [05695] which ye had made [06213], and burnt [08313] it with fire [0784], and stamped [03807] it, and ground [02912] it very small [03190], even until it was as small [01854] as dust [06083]: and I cast [07993] the dust [06083] thereof into the brook [05158] that descended out [03381] of the mount [02022].
2 And there was no water [04325] for the congregation [05712]: and they gathered [06950] themselves together against Moses [04872] and against Aaron [0175].
8 Take [03947] the rod [04294], and gather [06950] thou the assembly [05712] together, thou, and Aaron [0175] thy brother [0251], and speak [01696] ye unto the rock [05553] before their eyes [05869]; and it shall give forth [05414] his water [04325], and thou shalt bring forth [03318] to them water [04325] out of the rock [05553]: so thou shalt give [08248] the congregation [05712] and their beasts [01165] drink [08248].
6 Behold, I will stand [05975] before [06440] thee there upon the rock [06697] in Horeb [02722]; and thou shalt smite [05221] the rock [06697], and there shall come [03318] water [04325] out of it, that the people [05971] may drink [08354]. And Moses [04872] did [06213] so in the sight [05869] of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478].
2 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto him in a flame [03827] of fire [0784] out of the midst [08432] of a bush [05572]: and he looked [07200], and, behold, the bush [05572] burned [01197] with fire [0784], and the bush [05572] was not consumed [0398].
24 And [2532] when he had given thanks [2168], he brake [2806] it, and [2532] said [2036], Take [2983], eat [5315]: this [5124] is [2076] my [3450] body [4983], which [3588] is broken [2806] for [5228] you [5216]: this [5124] do [4160] in [1519] remembrance [364] of me [1699].
25 After the same manner [5615] also [2532] he took the cup [4221], when [3326] he had supped [1172], saying [3004], This [5124] cup [4221] is [2076] the new [2537] testament [1242] in [1722] my [1699] blood [129]: this [5124] do ye [4160], as oft as [3740] [302] ye drink [4095] it, in [1519] remembrance [364] of me [1699].
36 And they removed [05265] from Eziongaber [06100], and pitched [02583] in the wilderness [04057] of Zin [06790], which is Kadesh [06946].
7 And the king [04428] of Egypt [04714] came [03318] not again [03254] any more out of his land [0776]: for the king [04428] of Babylon [0894] had taken [03947] from the river [05158] of Egypt [04714] unto the river [05104] Euphrates [06578] all that pertained to the king [04428] of Egypt [04714].
65 And at that time [06256] Solomon [08010] held [06213] a feast [02282], and all Israel [03478] with him, a great [01419] congregation [06951], from the entering [0935] in of Hamath [02574] unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714], before [06440] the LORD [03068] our God [0430], seven [07651] days [03117] and seven [07651] days [03117], even fourteen [0702] [06240] days [03117].
47 Ashdod [0795] with her towns [01323] and her villages [02691], Gaza [05804] with her towns [01323] and her villages [02691], unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714], and the great [01419] [01366] sea [03220], and the border [01366] thereof:
4 From thence it passed [05674] toward Azmon [06111], and went out [03318] unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714]; and the goings out [08444] of that coast [01366] were at the sea [03220]: this shall be your south [05045] coast [01366].
5 And the border [01366] shall fetch a compass [05437] from Azmon [06111] unto the river [05158] of Egypt [04714], and the goings out [08444] of it shall be at the sea [03220].
21 And I took [03947] your sin [02403], the calf [05695] which ye had made [06213], and burnt [08313] it with fire [0784], and stamped [03807] it, and ground [02912] it very small [03190], even until it was as small [01854] as dust [06083]: and I cast [07993] the dust [06083] thereof into the brook [05158] that descended out [03381] of the mount [02022].
1 Then came [0935] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], even the whole congregation [05712], into the desert [04057] of Zin [06790] in the first [07223] month [02320]: and the people [05971] abode [03427] in Kadesh [06946]; and Miriam [04813] died [04191] there, and was buried [06912] there.
6 Behold, I will stand [05975] before [06440] thee there upon the rock [06697] in Horeb [02722]; and thou shalt smite [05221] the rock [06697], and there shall come [03318] water [04325] out of it, that the people [05971] may drink [08354]. And Moses [04872] did [06213] so in the sight [05869] of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478].
27 Wherefore [5620] whosoever [3739] [302] shall eat [2068] this [5126] bread [740], and [2228] drink [4095] this cup [4221] of the Lord [2962], unworthily [371], shall be [2071] guilty [1777] of the body [4983] and [2532] blood [129] of the Lord [2962].
25 After the same manner [5615] also [2532] he took the cup [4221], when [3326] he had supped [1172], saying [3004], This [5124] cup [4221] is [2076] the new [2537] testament [1242] in [1722] my [1699] blood [129]: this [5124] do ye [4160], as oft as [3740] [302] ye drink [4095] it, in [1519] remembrance [364] of me [1699].

11 And Moses [04872] lifted up [07311] his hand [03027], and with his rod [04294] he smote [05221] the rock [05553] twice [06471]: and the water [04325] came out [03318] abundantly [07227], and the congregation [05712] drank [08354], and their beasts [01165] also.
6 Behold, I will stand [05975] before [06440] thee there upon the rock [06697] in Horeb [02722]; and thou shalt smite [05221] the rock [06697], and there shall come [03318] water [04325] out of it, that the people [05971] may drink [08354]. And Moses [04872] did [06213] so in the sight [05869] of the elders [02205] of Israel [03478].
17 Then Israel [03478] sang [07891] this song [07892], Spring up [05927], O well [0875]; sing [06030] ye unto it:

17 Then Israel [03478] sang [07891] this song [07892], Spring up [05927], O well [0875]; sing [06030] ye unto it:
