AC 2362 - not what it seems . . .

AC 2362 [5]
From the things contained in this verse
it can be seen how pure the Word is in the internal sense,
although it may not so appear in the letter;
for when these words are read:
"Behold I pray I have two daughters who have not known man;
let me I pray bring them out unto you,
and you may do unto them as is good in your eyes,
only unto these men do not anything,"
(Genesis 19:8)
nothing but what is impure enters the ideas,
especially the ideas of those who are in a life of evil.
And yet how chaste these words are in the internal sense,
is made clear from the explanation,
by which it is shown that
they signify the affections of good and of truth,
and the blessedness which they who do no violence
to the Lord's Divine and Holy
perceive from the enjoyment of them.
