Origen, on Josh 15:16
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Josh 15:16 · Douay-Rheims
“And Caleb said: He that shall smite Cariath-Sepher, and take it, I will give him Axa my daughter to wife.”
On this verse:
“But now Caleb went up against that City of Letters and said, "I shall give Achsah my daughter for a wife to whoever demolishes the City of Letters and gains possession of it. And Othniel the son of Kenaz seized it." Moreover, Othniel, who received the City of Letters, is interpreted "the reply of God." But "the reply of God" can be said "he to whom God replies," that is, he to whom God reveals secrets and discloses hidden things. That one, therefore, is the younger brother of Caleb, the one who is able to take the City of Letters of the old covenant, and to demolish the "killing letter."”
