En als de dageraad opging, drongen de engelen Lot aan, zeggende: Maak u op, neem uw huisvrouw, en uw twee dochteren, die voorhanden zijn, opdat gij in de ongerechtigheid dezer stad niet omkomt.

2386. Verse 12 And the men said to Lot, Whom have you here still? Son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and everyone you have in the city - bring [them] out of the place.
'The men said to Lot' means that the Lord warns those with whom the good of charity is present. 'Whom have you here still? Son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and everyone you have in the city - bring [them] out of the place' means that all with whom the good of charity exists, and everything belonging to that good, were to be saved; also those governed by the truth of faith, provided they drew back from evil - 'sons-in-law' meaning truths coupled to affections for good [and truth], here truths that have yet to be coupled; 'sons' meaning truths; 'daughters' meaning affections for good and truth; 'everyone you have in the city' meaning whatever derives anything from truth; 'place' meaning a state of evil.
