2464. 'And his two daughters' means affections deriving from that good - affections for that kind of good and for that kind of falsity. This is clear from the meaning of 'daughters' as affections, 2461. The good from which the affections were derived, that is, the father from whom the daughters were begotten, is 'Lot'. But the truth, or the mother, from whom they came, was 'Lot's wife'. When she has become a pillar of salt, that is, when good within truth has been vastated, such good as is meant by 'Lot in the cave', and such affections deriving from that good as are meant by 'the daughters' in that case manifest themselves.
