ιδου, εχω δυο θυγατερας αιτινες δεν εγνωρισαν ανδρα· να σας φερω λοιπον αυτας εξω· και καμετε εις αυτας, οπως φανη εις εσας αρεστον· μονον εις τους ανδρας τουτους μη πραξητε μηδεν, επειδη δια τουτο εισηλθον υπο την σκιαν της στεγης μου.
Γένεση 19:8
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.
