Genesis 19:12
Compare all
10 But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.
11 And they astruck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door.  

Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed

12 Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city—atake them out of this place!  
13 For we will destroy this place, because the aoutcry against them has grown great before the face of the Lord, and bthe Lord has sent us to destroy it.”  
14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, awho had married his daughters, and said, b“Get up, get out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city!” cBut to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.  
15 When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, a“Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city.”  
16 And while he lingered, the men atook hold of his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the bLord being merciful to him, cand they brought him out and set him outside the city.  
17 So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that1 he said, a“Escape for your life! bDo not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape cto the mountains, lest you be destroyed.”  
18 Then Lot said to them, “Please, ano, my lords!

Genesis 19:12

Hast thou here any besides? son-in-law - Here there appears to be but one meant, as the word chathan is in the singular number; but in Genesis 19:14 the word is plural, chathanaiv , his sons-in-law. There were only two in number; as we do not hear that Lot had more than two daughters: and these seem not to have been actually married to those daughters, but only betrothed, as is evident from what Lot says, Genesis 19:8; for they had not known man, but were the spouses elect of those who are here called his sons-in-law. But though these might be reputed as a part of Lot' s family, and entitled on this account to God' s protection, yet it is sufficiently plain that they did not escape the perdition of these wicked men; and the reason is given, Genesis 19:14, they received the solemn warning as a ridiculous tale, the creature of Lot' s invention, or the offspring of his fear. Therefore they made no provision for their escape, and doubtless perished, notwithstanding the sincerely offered grace, in the perdition that fell on this ungodly city.
