Origen, on Num 33:46

Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Num 33:46 · Douay-Rheims
“From thence they went and camped in Helmondeblathaim.”
On this verse:
“Next, then, they come to Gelmon Deblathaim [Almon-diblathaim], which means "scorn of figs," that is, where earthly things are completely scorned and despised. For unless what seems to delight us on earth is rejected and scorned, we cannot pass through to heavenly things.”
