[100] γάρ φησι „Μωυσῆς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ σκηνὴν ἔπηξεν ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς“, καὶ οὐ
πλησίον, ἀλλὰ πορρωτάτω καὶ „μακρὰν ἀπὸ τῆς παρεμβολῆς“ (Exod. 33, 7). αἰνίττεται δὲ διὰ τούτων, ὅτι ὁ σοφὸς μέτοικος καὶ μετανάστης ἐστὶν ἀπὸ πολέμου πρὸς εἰρήνην καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ θνητοῦ καὶ πεφυρμένου στρατοπέδου πρὸς τὸν ἀπόλεμον καὶ εἰρηναῖον λογικῶν καὶ εὐδαιμόνων ψυχῶν βίον θεῖον.

[100] "for Moses," says the scripture, "having taken his own tent, fixed it outside the camp," ¹ and that too not near it, but a long way off, and at a great distance from the camp. And by these statements he tells us, figuratively, that the wise man is but a sojourner, and a person who leaves war and goes over to peace, and who passes from the mortal and disturbed camp to the undisturbed and peaceful and divine life of rational and happy souls.
