Origen, on Exod 4:24
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Exod 4:24 · Douay-Rheims
“And when he was in his journey, in the inn, the Lord met him, and would have killed him.”
On this verse:
“We must also inquire who that being was of whom it is said in Exodus that he wished to kill Moses because he was setting out for Egypt. And afterwards, who is it that is called the "destroying angel," and who also is he who in Leviticus is described as Apopompeus, that is, the Averter, of whom the Scripture speaks thus: "One lot for the Lord, and one lot for Apopompeus"?”
