Origen, on Num 33:15
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Num 33:15 · Douay-Rheims
“And departing from Raphidim, they camped in the desert of Sinai.”
On this verse:
“Sina itself is a place in the wilderness that was earlier mentioned as Sin. But this place is, rather, the name of the mountain that is in that wilderness; it is called Sina after the name of the wilderness. Therefore, after the soul has been made praiseworthy in judgment and begins to have a right judgment, then it is given the law by God, since it has begun to be capable of receiving divine mysteries and heavenly visions.”
