In the context of the Old Testament events: 1 Corinthians 10:6 [6] Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. God gave us his infallible word to learn from and grow in our relationship with him. Spend time in his word and study it, cover to cover, all of it is beneficial. If you don’t understand it, pray for guidance and mediate on the scriptures. If you are meant to understand it then God will give you understanding.
