Homilies on Genesis, Homilia V · §1

Lot in the cave with his daughters

Lot goes up the mountain and dwells in a cave with his daughters. The daughters’ plan for seed and the father’s drunkenness: shameful by the letter; spiritually, beware the cave of hidden passion.

Latin

Lot ascendit in montem, habitat in spelunca cum filiabus. Consilium filiarum de semine — ebrietas patris. Narratio turpis littera; spiritaliter cave.
