2458. Verse 30 And Lot went up out of Zoar and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar. And he dwelt in a cave - he, and his two daughters.

'Lot went up out of Zoar' means when the affection for truth existed with them no longer. 'And dwelt in the mountain' means that in that case they transferred themselves to a kind of good. 'And his two daughters with him' means as did affections deriving from that good. 'For he was afraid to dwell in Zoar' means because they were unable any more to look to good from the affection for truth. 'And he dwelt in a cave - he' means good enveloped in falsity. 'And his two daughters' means affections deriving from that good - affections for that kind of good and for that kind of falsity.
