Israel a Type
C. Hodge, D.D. 1 Corinthians 10:6-13 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.… "Examples" here mean types. A type is an impression; anything produced by blows; then an impression which has a resemblance to something else; then a model to which some other person or thing should be, or in point of fact would be conformed. The Israelites and the facts of their history were our types, because we shall be conformed to them if we do not exercise caution. Our doom will correspond to theirs. They therefore stand as warnings to us. (C. Hodge, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
