Arcana Coelestia #2237

Studere hoc loco

  
/ 10837  
  

2237. Verse 20 And Jehovah said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah has become great, and their sin has become extremely grave.

'Jehovah said' means perception. 'The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah has become great, and their sin has become extremely grave' means that falsity and evil stemming from self-love reached their climax, 'cry' meaning falsity, 'sin' evil.
