ΩΡΙΓΕΝΟΥΣ ΕΚΛΟΓΑΙ
ΕΙΣ ΤΟΥΣ ΚΡΙΤΑΣ.
Origen's Selections on Judges.
ΚΕΦ. ΙΕʹ.
Chapter XV.
(73) Στίχ. ιθʹ. Καὶ ἔῤῥηξεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸ τραῦμα τὸ ἐν σιαγόνι, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ ὕδωρ.
Verse 19. And God split open the wound that was in the jawbone, and water came out of it.
Ἀντὶ τοῦ· Ἔῤῥηξε τῇ πληγῇ τῆς σιαγόνος τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὕδατα.
Instead of: He split open the earth by the stroke of the jawbone, and waters came out.
ΚΕΦ. Κʹ.
Chapter XX.
(74) Στίχ. καʹ. Καὶ ἐξῆλθον υἱοὶ Βενιαμίν.
Verse 21. And the sons of Benjamin came out.
Τίνος ἕνεκεν ἡττῶνται δικαίως ἐπεξελθόντες; Ἢ δηλονότι διὰ προλαβούσας αἰτίας. Καὶ ὁ ψαλμός φησιν· Ὅταν λάβω καιρὸν, ἐγὼ εὐθύτητας κρινῶ. Εἶτα μετὰ τὸ ἡττηθῆναι καὶ μίαν καὶ δευτέραν, μετῆλθεν ἡ ὀργὴ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἠδικηκότας, νικῶσι δικαίαν δίκην (75). Θαυμάσαι δὲ ἄξιον τὸ πλῆθος τῶν Ἰσραηλιτῶν, ὅτι, δικαίως τοῖς Βενιαμίταις ἐπελθόντες, καὶ ἡττηθέντες, οὐκ ἐνενόησάν τι πονηρὸν κατὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον οὐδὲ ἐπαύσαντο προκλαίοντες, ἕως ὅτε δίκην ἔλαβον κατὰ τῶν ἠδικηκότων.
For what reason are they defeated when they went out justly against them? Clearly on account of preceding causes. And the Psalm says: When I take a set time, I will judge uprightnesses (Ps. 74:3). Then after being defeated both once and a second time, the wrath passed over upon those who had done wrong, and they win a just verdict. And the multitude of the Israelites is worthy of admiration, in that, having justly attacked the Benjaminites, and having been defeated, they did not think anything evil against God, but rather did not even cease weeping beforehand, until they exacted punishment against those who had done wrong.
Οὐ καταμεμφόμενοι τοῦ Θεοῦ εἶπον· Ἀλλὰ ἀπόχρη τοῦτο. Τρόπον μαθεῖν ἱκέτευον. Τό· Βενιαμὶν λύκος ἅρπαξ· πρωῒ ἔδεται, καὶ τὸ ἑ. (76) διαδώσει τροφὴν, ἐνταῦθα πληροῦται. Καὶ γὰρ πρότερον νικήσας, ἔσχατον βρῶμα τοῦ λαοῦ γέγονε.
Not finding fault with God did they say: But this is enough. They supplicated to learn a way. The saying: Benjamin is a ravening wolf; in the morning he shall devour, and in the evening he shall distribute food (Gen. 49:27), is fulfilled here. For indeed having conquered previously, at the last he became food for the people.

Chapter XXI.
Στίχ. κʹ, καʹ. Τί δήποτε προσέταξαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τοῖς διακοσίοις· ἐκ τοῦ Βενιαμὶν ἐκ τῶν ἐν Σηλὼμ χορευουσῶν παρθένων ἁρπάσαι τε καὶ γῆμαι; Αἱ τῆς φυλῆς αὐτῶν γυναῖκες ἅπασαι κατεσφάγησαν· αὐτοὶ δὲ ὀμωμόκεσαν, μὴ κατεγγυῆσαι αὐτοῖς τὰς ἑαυτῶν θυγατέρας. Ἵνα τοίνυν μὴ βιασθέντες ὑπὸ τῆς ἀνάγκης ἀλλοφύλους γυναῖκας ἀγάγωνται, πόρον εὗρον ἐν ἀπόροις, καὶ τὴν ἁρπαγὴν ἐπενόησαν.
Verses 20, 21. Why ever did the sons of Israel command the two hundred of Benjamin to seize and marry from the virgins dancing in Selom? All the women of their tribe had been slaughtered; and they themselves had sworn not to betroth their own daughters to them. Therefore, lest being forced by necessity they should take foreign wives, they found a way in a wayless plight, and devised the seizure.
