Origen, on Num 33:17
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Num 33:17 · Douay-Rheims
“And departing from the graves of lust, they camped in Haseroth.”
On this verse:
“Next they come to Aseroth [Hazeroth]. This means "perfect halls" or "blessedness."Consider quite carefully, each of you wanderers, what the order of progress is. After you have been buried and have handed over the lusts of the flesh to death, you will come to the spacious dignity of halls, you will come to blessedness. For blessed is the soul that is no longer driven by any vices of the flesh.”
