9 Y ellos respondieron: Quita allá; y añadieron: Vino éste aquí para habitar como un extraño, ¿y habrá de erigirse en juez? Ahora te haremos más mal que a ellos. Y hacían gran violencia al varón, a Lot, y se acercaron para romper las puertas.

2372. And shall he judge indeed? That this signifies, Shall they teach us? is evident from the signification of “judging,” as being to teach. That “righteousness” is predicated of the practice of good, but “judgment” of the instruction of truth, was shown above (n. 2235); hence in the internal sense to “judge” is to instruct or teach. To teach truth is the same as to teach what is good, because all truth looks to good.
