THEOSISJustin Martyr
I find it important to highlight one of these miraculous events, as it directs your understanding towards Jesus, whom we acknowledge as the Christ, the Son of God, who endured crucifixion, triumphed over death, ascended to heaven, and is destined to return to judge all humanity, starting with Adam. Therefore, I say to you that when the adversaries of the inhabitants of Azoth took the tabernacle of the testimony and were smitten by a severe and incurable plague, they resolved to place it upon a cart pulled by cows that had recently calved. They sought to determine if their affliction was a consequence of the tabernacle and whether it was God’s will for it to be restored to its original location.

Once they acted upon this, the cows, without anyone's knowledge, did not return to the site from where the tabernacle had been removed, but instead came to the field of a man named Abijah. This name is shared with the individual who was given the name Jesus, as previously mentioned, and who led the people into the promised land, distributing it among them. Upon reaching this destination, the cows came to a halt. This demonstrates that they were guided by a significant name, just as those who survived from the exodus of Egypt were led into the land by one who was called Jesus, previously known as Abijah.
