1 Corinthians 10:4 Douay-Rheims

And all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.)

Gregory the Great

c. A.D. 540–604 Patristic

Paul had doubtless discovered this light in the night of history, when he said, All were baptized in Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual meat, and all drank the same spiritual drink. But they drank of the spiritual Rock that followed them, but the Rock was Christ. If then the Rock represented the Redeemer, why should not blessed Job suggest the type of Him, since he signified in his suffering Him Whom he spake of in his voice?
