2464. 'And his two daughters' means affections deriving from that good - affections for that kind of good and for that kind of falsity. This is clear from the meaning of 'daughters' as affections, 2461. The good from which the affections were derived, that is, the father from whom the daughters were begotten, is 'Lot'. But the truth, or the mother, from whom they came, was 'Lot's wife'. When she has become a pillar of salt, that is, when good within truth has been vastated, such good as is meant by 'Lot in the cave', and such affections deriving from that good as are meant by 'the daughters' in that case manifest themselves.

2461. 'His two daughters with him' means as did affections deriving from that good. This is clear from the meaning of 'daughters' as affections, dealt with in 489-491. But as is the good so are the affections deriving from it. Even spurious and impure good has its own affections, for all people have an affection for the things which they suppose to be good, whatever the actual nature of those things, since they are the objects of their love.
