1687. Verse 10. And the valley of Siddim was pits, pits [or, full of pits] of bitumen; and the king of Sodom and of Gomorrah fled, and fell there, and they that remained fled to the mountain. “The valley of Siddim was pits, pits, of bitumen,” signifies the uncleanness of the falsities and cupidities; “and the king of Sodom and of Gomorrah fled, and fell there,” signifies that those evils and falsities were overcome; “and they that remained fled to the mountain,” signifies but not all of them; “the mountain” is the love of self and of the world.
