2259. Verse 26. And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the midst of the city, I will spare all the place for their sake. “Jehovah said,” signifies perception; “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the midst of the city,” signifies here as before, if truths are full of goods; “I will spare all the place for their sake,” signifies that they will be saved.
