9 彼らは言った、「退け」。また言った、「この男は渡ってきたよそ者であるのに、いつも、さばきびとになろうとする。それで、われわれは彼らに加えるよりも、おまえに多くのを加えよう」。彼らはロトの身に激しく迫り、進み寄って戸を破ろうとした。

2404. Verse 15. And when the dawn arose the angels pressed Lot to hasten, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters that are found, lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. “When the dawn arose,” signifies when the Lord’s kingdom is approaching; “the angels pressed Lot to hasten,” signifies that the Lord withheld them from evil and kept them in good; “saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters that are found,” signifies the truth of faith and the affections of truth and of good; “found,” denotes that they are separated from evil; “lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city,” signifies lest they should perish by the evils of falsity.
