Arcana Coelestia # 2375
2375. Upon Lot exceedingly. That this signifies that they desired to offer violence especially to the good of charity, is evident from the signification of “Lot,” as being the good of charity (see above, n. 2324, 2351, 2371, 2373). From the very words—that they “pressed upon the man, upon Lot exceedingly”—it is evident that one thing is signified by the “man,” and another by “Lot exceedingly;” otherwise one expression would have sufficed.
Arcana Coelestia # 2372
2372. And shall he judge indeed? That this signifies, Shall they teach us? is evident from the signification of “judging,” as being to teach. That “righteousness” is predicated of the practice of good, but “judgment” of the instruction of truth, was shown above (n. 2235); hence in the internal sense to “judge” is to instruct or teach. To teach truth is the same as to teach what is good, because all truth looks to good.
