1289. Verse 2. And it came to pass when they journeyed from the east, that they found a valley in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. “When they journeyed from the east,” signifies when they went back from charity; “the east,” is charity from the Lord; “that they found a valley in the land of Shinar,” signifies that their worship became more unclean and profane “and they dwelt there,” signifies their life.
