'Look not back behind thee,' as in Genesis 19:17, means that Lot, who represents the good of charity, should not look to matters of doctrine. 'To look up,' is to look to celestial things. In Genesis 18:22, looking signifies thinking because seeing denotes understanding.

3867. vers. 33 Et concepit adhuc, et peperit filium, et dixit, Quia audivit Jehovah quod exosa ego, et dedit mihi etiam hunc, et vocavit nomen ejus Shimeon. ‘Concepit adhuc et peperit filium’ significat, ut prius, conceptionem et partum spiritualem ab externo versus interiora magis: ‘quia audivit Jehovah’ significat in supremo sensu providentiam, in interno fidei voluntatem, in interiore oboedientiam, in externo auditum, hic fidem voluntate quae a solo Domino: ‘quod exosa ego’ significat statum fidei si non voluntas ei correspondens: ‘et dedit mihi etiam hunc’ significat successivum: et vocavit nomen ejus Shimeon, ' significat quale ejus.
