Philo Judaeus Quis Rerum Divinarum Heres Sit 81

And the statement, "He led him out" ¹ ( ἐξήγαγεν αὐτὸν ἔξω), has a bearing also on moral considerations, though some persons, through their want of instruction in moral philosophy, are accustomed to ridicule it, saying, "For is any one ever led out in ( ἔξω εἰσάγεται), or led in out ( εἰσέρχεται ἔξω)?" "Certainly," I would reply, "you ridiculous and very foolish man; for you have never learnt how to trace the dispositions of the soul; but by this language of yours you only seek to understand those motions of bodies which are exerted in change of place. On which account it seems paradoxical to you to speak of any one coming out into ( ἐξέρχεται εἴσω), or going in out ( ὲξέρχεται ἔξω); but to those acquainted with Moses none of these things seem inconsistent."
