29
Mais il était arrivé lors que Dieu détruisit les villes de la plaine, qu'il s'était souvenu d'Abraham, et avait envoyé Lot hors de la subversion, quand il détruisit les villes où Lot habitait.
Genèse 19:29
Arcana Coelestia # 2414
2414. Verse 17 And so it was, when they were leading them away outside, that [one of the two] said, Escape for your life; 1 do not look back behind you, and do not halt in all the plain; escape into the mountain lest you are consumed.
'And so it was, when they were leading them away outside' means a state when they were to be withheld from falsity and evil. 'That [one of the two] said, Escape for your life' means that he was to be concerned about his life to eternity. 'Do not look back behind you' means that he was not to look to matters of doctrine. 'And do not halt in all the plain' means that he was not to linger over any one of these. 'Escape into the mountain' means towards the good that flows from love and charity. 'Lest you are consumed' means, if he did anything else he would perish.
