About This Quote
Some women's arms are placed of exile meaning that the arms are placed on my shoulders, giving me strength to carry my weight. This phrase has its origins in the story of Lot's Daughters. The daughters of Lot were turned into pillar-like rocks and doomed to stay there forever (Genesis 19:32: "And they said, Behold now, our father is old, and we are the children of these harlots; we and our father beheld the fire and yet we did not go to escape from the face of it; now then, behold, the cry of our sister is come up unto us; she is torn in pieces, and died: wherefore also we are fled."). They were condemned to be stones for eternity.
While this was happening, Lot looked back at his beautiful daughters and asked them to lift their hands as a sign of forgiveness and hope for forgiveness. They were so moved by their father's love for them that they lifted their hands up as a sign of hope and forgiveness.
