καὶ κατέστρεψεν τὰς πόλεις ταύτας καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν περίοικον καὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν καὶ πάντα τὰ ἀνατέλλοντα ἐκ τῆς γῆς
Genesis 19:25
Arcana Coelestia #2408
2408. Lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. That this signifies lest they should perish in the evils of falsity, is evident from the signification of “iniquity,” as being evil; and from the signification of “city,” as being what is doctrinal, even if it is false (see n. 402). What the evil of falsity is may be seen from what was said in Part First (n. 1212, 1679).
