Ηλθον δε οι δυο αγγελοι εις τα Σοδομα το εσπερας· και εκαθητο ο Λωτ παρα την πυλην των Σοδομων· ιδων δε ο Λωτ, εσηκωθη εις συναντησιν αυτων και προσεκυνησεν επι προσωπον εως εδαφους·
Γένεση 19:1
Arcana Coelestia # 2355
2355. Verses 6-7. And Lot went out unto them to the door [janua], and shut the door [ostium] behind him. And he said, I pray you my brethren do not wickedly. “Lot went out unto them to the door,” signifies that he applied himself prudently; “and shut the door behind him,” signifies lest they should do violence to the good of charity, and also deny the Lord’s Divine Human and Holy proceeding; “and he said,” signifies exhortation; “I pray you my brethren do not wickedly,” signifies that they should not do violence to them. He calls them “brethren,” because it is from good that he exhorts them.
