Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Corinthians 10:2

_ _ And — “And so” [Bengel].

_ _ baptized unto Moses — the servant of God and representative of the Old Testament covenant of the law: as Jesus, the Son of God, is of the Gospel covenant (John 1:17; Hebrews 3:5, Hebrews 3:6). The people were led to believe in Moses as God’s servant by the miracle of the cloud protecting them, and by their being conducted under him safely through the Red Sea; therefore they are said to be “baptized unto” him (Exodus 14:31). “Baptized” is here equivalent to “initiated”: it is used in accommodation to Paul’s argument to the Corinthians; they, it is true, have been “baptized,” but so also virtually were the Israelites of old; if the virtual baptism of the latter availed not to save them from the doom of lust, neither will the actual baptism of the former save them. There is a resemblance between the symbols also: for the cloud and sea consist of water, and as these took the Israelites out of sight, and then restored them again to view, so the water does to the baptized [Bengel]. Olshausen understands “the cloud” and “the sea” as symbolizing the Spirit and water respectively (John 3:5; Acts 10:44-47). Christ is the pillar cloud that screens us from the heat of God’s wrath. Christ as “the light of the world” is our “pillar of fire” to guide us in the darkness of the world. As the rock when smitten sent forth the waters, so Christ, having been once for all smitten, sends forth the waters of the Spirit. As the manna bruised in mills fed Israel, so Christ, when “it pleased the Lord to bruise Him,” has become our spiritual food. A strong proof of inspiration is given in this fact, that the historical parts of Scripture, without the consciousness even of the authors, are covert prophecies of the future.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Corinthians 10:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Corinthians 10:2

And were all, as it were, baptized unto Moses — initiated into the religion which he taught them. In the cloud and in the sea — Perhaps sprinkled here and there with drops of water from the sea or the cloud, by which baptism might be the more evidently signified.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Corinthians 10:2

(2) And were all (b) baptized unto (c) Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

(2) In effect the ordinances of the old fathers were all one with ours, for they respected Christ alone, who offered himself to them in different forms.

(b) All of them were baptized with the outward sign, but not indeed, because of which God cannot be blamed, but they themselves.

(c) Moses being their guide.
