Origen, on Num 33:42

Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Num 33:42 · Douay-Rheims
“From whence they removed and came to Phunon.”
On this verse:
“Now from here they come to Phinon [Punon], which we think means "frugality of the mouth." For the person who can contemplate the mystery of Christ and of the Holy Spirit, if he sees or hears what it is not right for men to speak, will necessarily have frugality of mouth, since he will know to whom, when and how he should speak of the divine mysteries.”
