What does the Bible say about the smitten rock in Exodus?

Answered in 1 source

The smitten rock in Exodus symbolizes Christ, as indicated in 1 Corinthians 10:4, where the spiritual rock is said to be Christ.

The smitten rock in Exodus 17 represents a profound typology of Christ's work. In 1 Corinthians 10:1-4, it explicitly states that the rock which provided water for the Israelites is identified as Christ. The act of Moses striking the rock symbolizes the crucifixion of Jesus, where He was smitten in judgment for our sins. This type shows that from Christ, the believer receives spiritual sustenance, similar to how the Israelites received water from the smitten rock in the wilderness.
