1 Corinthians 10
10
1I do not want you to be without da'as, Achim b'Moshiach, that Avoteinu all were under the anan#10:1 Ex 13:21-22 (cloud) and passed through the sea,#10:1 Ex 14:22-25
2And all into Moshe Rabbenu were given tevilah in the anan (cloud) and in the sea,
3And all of the same spiritual okhel (food) ate,#10:3 Ex 16:4,35; Dt 8:3; Ps 78:24-29
4And all of the same spiritual drink drank, for they were drinking from a spiritual TZUR following them,#10:4 Ex 17:6; Num 20:11; Ps 78:15; 105:41 and that TZUR was Moshiach.
5But Hashem was not pleased with most of them, for they were strewn about in the desert, VAYISHCHATEM BAMIDBAR (then He slaughtered them in the desert).#10:5 Num 14:16,23,29-30; Ps 78:31
6Now these things occurred as moftim (examples) for us, in order that we would not crave what is ra'ah as they did.#10:6 Num 11:4,34; Ps 106:14
7Neither should you become ovdei elilim (idolaters), as some of them did, as it has been written, “And the people sat to eat and to drink and they got up to revel.”#10:7 Ex 32:6
8Neither should we commit zenut as some of them committed zenut and fell in one day twenty-three thousand.#10:8 Num 25:1,9. T.N. if Rav Sha'ul is not giving the number that died in one day, a very famous and devastating twenty-four hour period, (with Num 25:4 mentioning other executions and the subsequent total being 24,000, Num 24:9), then Rav Sha'ul is referring to those who died in Ex 32:35, quoting as he does Ex 32:6 in 1C 10:7
9Neither let us tempt Moshiach, as some of them put Moshiach to the test, and by nechashim (serpents) were being destroyed.#10:9 Ex 17:2; Num 21:5-6; Ps 78:18; 95:9; 106:4
10Neither should we murmur and grumble even as some of them VAYILONU (and they murmured)#10:10 Ex 15:24; 16:2; 17:3; Num 14:2,29; 16:41 and they were destroyed by the destroyer.#10:10 Num 14:2,36; 16:41-49; 17:5,10; Ex 12:23; Ps 106:25-27
11Now, these things happened to those ones as moftim (examples), but it was written for our admonition, to whom the Kitzei HaOlamim has come.
12So then the one that presupposes that he stands, let him take care lest he fall.
13No nissayon (temptation) has overtaken you, except that which is common to Bnei Adam, but, Hashem is ne'eman (faithful),#10:13 Dt 7:9 who will not let you to be brought into nissayon beyond what you are able, but will make with the nissayon also the derech [Tzaddikim]#10:13 Ps 1:6 as a way out for you to be able to endure.
14Therefore, my chaverim, flee from avodah zarah.
15I speak as to thinking men; you judge what I say.
16The Kos HaBracha (Cup of Blessing) over which we say the Bracha, is it not a [Mizbe'ach] sharing and deveykus participation in the Korban Pesach death and kapporah of Moshiach? The matzoh which we break, is this not a sharing and a deveykus participation in the Guf HaMoshiach?
17Because the matzoh is echad, we, many as we are, are one body, one new humanity, for we all partake of the matzoh echad.
18Observe Yisroel according to the basar. Are not the ones eating the korbanot (sacrifices) partakers of the Mizbe'ach#10:18 Lv 7:6,14,15 (altar)?
19What then am I saying? That a sacrifice to an elil (idol) is anything or that an idol is anything?
20No, the things which they sacrifice, YIZB'CHU LASHEDIM LO ELOHIM (They sacrificed to demons which were not G-d).#10:20 Dt 32:17; Ps 106:37 Now I do not want you to become sharers with the shedim (demons).#10:20 Lv 17:7; Dt 32:17; Ps 106:37
21You are not able to drink from the Kos of Hashem and also from the Kos HaShedim; you are not able to partake of the shulchan of Hashem and the shulchan of shedim (demons).
22Or is it that you would move Hashem to kinah (jealousy)?#10:22 Dt 32:21 We don't think we are stronger than He, do we?#10:22 Dt 32:16; 1Kgs 14:22; Ps 78:58; Jer 44:8; Koh 6:10; Isa 45:9
23“All things are lawful?” But not all things are beneficial; “All things are lawful?” But not all things edify.#10:23 1C 6:12
24Let no one seek his own benefit but the benefit of the other.
25Everything being sold in a meat market eat without raising qualms of matzpun (conscience).
26For LAHASHEM HA'ARETZ UMELOAH (The earth is the L-rdʼs and the fullness thereof).#10:26 Ps 24:1; 50:12; 89:11; Ex 9:29; 19:5; Job 41:11; Ps 50:12
27If anyone of the Apikorosim invites you and you want to go, eat everything being set before you without raising qualms of matzpun (conscience).
28But if anyone should say to you, “Zeh nizbach l'elil!” (This is sacrificed to an idol!), do not eat out of consideration for that man who informed you and because of matzpun (conscience).
29But I speak not about your matzpun but about the matzpun of the other man, for why is my cherut (freedom) brought into mishpat (judgment) by anotherʼs matzpun (conscience)?
30If I partake with Birkat Hamazon (grace after meals), why am I blamed for what I give todah (thanks)?
31Whether, therefore, you eat or you drink or whatever you do, do all things to the kavod (glory) of Hashem.#10:31 Zech 14:21
32Be without michshol both to Yehudim and to Yevanim and to the Kehillah of Hashem,
33even as I also please Bnei Adam in all things, not seeking my own advantage but that of the many, that they may be brought to Yeshu'at Eloheinu.

1 Corinthians 10
10
Avoid Israel’s Mistakes
1For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea; 2and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3and all ate the same spiritual food; 4and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ. 5Nevertheless, with most of them God was not well-pleased; for they were laid low in the wilderness.
6Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they also craved. 7Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play.” 8Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day. 9Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents. 10Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer. 11Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. 12Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall. 13No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
14Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say. 16Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? 17Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. 18Look at the nation Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar? 19What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons. 21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. 22Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we?
23All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. 24Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor. 25Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience’ sake; 26for the earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains. 27If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience’ sake. 28But if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience’ sake; 29I mean not your own conscience, but the other man’s; for why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience? 30If I partake with thankfulness, why am I slandered concerning that for which I give thanks?
31Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God; 33just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved.
