Genesis 19:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 19:15

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!
