For speech conceals much.\r\nRightly, therefore, Jesus the son of Nave saw Moses, when taken up [to\r\nheaven], double,—one Moses with the angels, and one on the mountains,\r\nhonoured with burial in their ravines. And Jesus saw this spectacle\r\nbelow, being elevated by the Spirit, along also with Caleb. But both do\r\nnot see similarly.
