1591. Verse 11 And Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan; and Lot travelled from the east, and they were separated, man from his brother.
'Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan' means that the external man was such. 'And Lot travelled from the east' means those things residing with the external man which depart from celestial love. 'And they were separated, man from his brother' means that those things bring the separation about.
