35 ἐπότισαν δὲ καὶ ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν οἶνον καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα ἡ νεωτέρα ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει ἐν τῷ κοιμηθῆναι αὐτὴν καὶ ἀναστῆναι

2355. Verses 6-7. And Lot went out unto them to the door [janua], and shut the door [ostium] behind him. And he said, I pray you my brethren do not wickedly. “Lot went out unto them to the door,” signifies that he applied himself prudently; “and shut the door behind him,” signifies lest they should do violence to the good of charity, and also deny the Lord’s Divine Human and Holy proceeding; “and he said,” signifies exhortation; “I pray you my brethren do not wickedly,” signifies that they should not do violence to them. He calls them “brethren,” because it is from good that he exhorts them.
