They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. — The exodus events are reinterpreted as baptismal: ebapt... eis Mōsēn (baptized into Moses). The preposition eis (into) suggests union with Moses as mediator, paralleling Christian baptism into Christ. Cloud and sea together form the sacramental medium. The parallel sacralizes Israel's experience but also prefigures Christian baptism.
