Origen, on Num 33:14

“And departing from Alus, they pitched their tents in Raphidim, where the people wanted water to drink.”

“Now Raphidin [Rephidim] means "praise of judgment." Praise most justly follows toils, but what is the praise of? Judgment, it says. Therefore the soul becomes worthy of praise when it judges rightly, discerns rightly, that is, when it judges all things spiritually and is itself judged by no one.”
