Origen, on Num 33:48
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Num 33:48 · Douay-Rheims
“And departing from the mountains of Abarim, they passed to the plains of Moab, by the Jordan, over against Jericho.”
On this verse:
“The last stage is east of Moab by the Jordan. For the whole journey takes place, the whole course is run for the purpose of arriving at the river of God, so that we may make neighbors of the flowing Wisdom and may be watered by the waves of divine knowledge, and so that purified by them all we may be made worthy to enter the promised land.”
