2350. Verse 5 And they cried out to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men who came to you in the night? Bring them out to us and let us know them.

'They cried out to Lot, and said to him' means anger directed against good on the part of falsity deriving from evil. 'Where are the men who came to you?' means a negative frame of mind towards the Lord's Divine Human and His Holy proceeding. 'In the night' means the final period when these two are acknowledged no longer. 'Bring them out to us and let us know them' means their wish to show that it is false to acknowledge the existence of these.
