Origen, on Num 33:47
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Num 33:47 · Douay-Rheims
“And departing from Helmondeblathaim, they came to the mountains of Abarim over against Nabo.”
On this verse:
“There follows next the stage at Abarim opposite Nabau [Nebo], which is "passage." But Nabau means "separation." For when the soul has made its journey through all these virtues and has climbed to the height of perfection, it then "passes" from the world and "separates" from it, as it is written of Enoch, "And he was not found, because God had taken him across."”
