Origen’s Homiliae in Exodum IX and XIII and on Tabernacle

Summary/Abstract: This article presents fi rst a short summary of the person of Origen as preacher and outlines his homiletic activity. This creates a prerequisite for entry into specific homilies on the book of Exodus (homily IX. and XIII.), which shows his exegetical skills, allegorical method, and different approaches to the art of updating the biblical text to the audience. The Homilies on Exodus IX. and XIII. about the tabernacle were popular among the Fathers of the Church, the Jewish authors and the rabbis. This article provides a basic orientation necessary for understanding Origen’s preaching activities and points to the undoubtedly original view in the patristic exegesis on the Mosaic tabernacle. It also shows the interpretative differences between the two homilies and points up the caution of the Alexandrian with respect to the audience when he is opening deeper theological themes.
