ORIGENOVE HOMILIAE IN EXODUM IX A XIII O SVÄTOSTÁNKU

This article presents a short summary of the person Origen as a 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 on 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 two homilies and points up the caution of the Alexandrian with respect to the audience when he is opening deeper theological themes.
