Genesis 19:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 19:5

3 But he insisted strongly; so they turned in to him and entered his house. ^aThen he made them a feast, and baked ^bunleavened bread, and they ate.

4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house.

5 ^aAnd they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? ^bBring them out to us that we ^cmay know them carnally.”

6 So ^aLot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him,

7 and said, “Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly!

8 ^aSee now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, ^bsince this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof.”

9 And they said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one ^acame in to stay here, ^band he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.” So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door.

10 But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.
