10 E Lot alzò gli occhi e vide l’intera pianura del Giordano. Prima che l’Eterno avesse distrutto Sodoma e Gomorra, essa era tutta quanta irrigata fino a Tsoar, come il giardino dell’Eterno, come il paese d’Egitto.

1597. And Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain. That this signifies that the external man was in memory-knowledges, is evident from the representation of Lot, as being the external man; and from the signification of a “city,” or “cities,” as being doctrinal things, which in themselves are nothing but memory-knowledges when predicated of the external man while this is separated from the internal. (That “cities” signify doctrinal things, both true and false, was before shown, n. 402)
