14 εξηλθεν δε λωτ και ελαλησεν προς τους γαμβρους αυτου τους ειληφοτας τας θυγατερας αυτου και ειπεν αναστητε και εξελθατε εκ του τοπου τουτου οτι εκτριβει κυριος την πολιν εδοξεν δε γελοιαζειν εναντιον των γαμβρων αυτου

2518. Verse 4. And Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, wilt Thou slay also a righteous nation? “Abimelech had not come near her,” signifies that in the doctrine of faith rational truth had not been consulted in any manner; “and he said, Lord, wilt Thou slay also a righteous nation?” signifies whether would the good and truth of doctrine be extinguished.
