The slavery of Israel in Egypt was a judgement. They did not worship God, but the gods of Egypt. As the judgement ended they passed through the sea on dry ground. The crossing is often seen as a picture of baptism, but baptism itself is a picture of the cross. Jesus is the firmament between the waters; the firm ground. As with the shadow of Samson and the jawbone, Jesus was totally consumed on the cross; he was 'dry'.
In the wilderness, they were first given manna, a kind of bread to eat. Manna מן is 'from מ the death of the son of man ן'. Jesus is the bread from heaven. It represents the cross; his body given for us. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God's name 'Elohim' has a pun 'lechem' which is bread. 'Lechem' לחם means 'teaching ל to understand ח the finished work of the son ם. When we are delivered by God, he teaches us about the cross. The cross symbolized by the bread declared the end of judgement.
Then the Hebrews thirsted again signifying the end of judgement. They were given a flood of water from the rock. After the cross, there was a flood of doctrine as all the OT was revealed to speak of Christ. The new teaching taught grace. The old teaching/water taught judgement.
The water came from a rock ['tsur' צור is the exchange of sin and righteousness צ made clear ו by revelation ר]. Christ was the Rock, not Peter, nor 'revelation'. The rock was struck a second time and produced water because they thirsted again at the end of the 40 years. The judgement of the flesh was ended.
