1592、“于是罗得为自己选择约旦河的全平原”表示外在人,它就是这样,这从前面章节(1585节)所解释的“约旦河平原”的含义清楚可知,“约旦河平原”是指外在人。前面章节描述了当与内在人结合时,外在人的美丽,而本节和接下来的两节则描述了当分离时,它的丑陋。

[NCE]1592. The symbolism of Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan as the outer self and its character is established by the symbolism of the plain of the Jordan as the outer self (discussed at the last verse [搂1585]).
The beauty of the outer self when united with the inner self is depicted in the previous verse, but its ugliness when disconnected is depicted in this verse and the next two.
Potts(1905-1910) 1592
1592. Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan. That this signifies the external man, and that it was such, is evident from the signification of "the plain of Jordan," explained in the preceding verse, which is the external man. In the preceding verse is described the beauty of the external man when it is conjoined with the internal, but its deformity when disjoined is described in this and the two following verses.
Elliott(1983-1999) 1592
1592. That 'Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan' means that the external man was such is clear from the meaning of 'the plain of Jordan' as the external man, dealt with in the previous verse. The previous verse describes the beauty of the external man when joined to the internal, but this verse and the two that follow describe the ugliness of it when separated.
Latin(1748-1756) 1592
1592. 'Elegit sibi Lot omnem planitiem Jordanis': quod significet externum hominem quod talis, constat a significatione 'planitiei Jordanis,' de qua in vers. praec., quod sit externus homo. Externi hominis pulchritudo describitur in vers. praec. cum conjunctus es interno; at ejus turpitudo describitur ab hoc versu et in binis sequentibus, cum disjunctus.
