Genesis 19:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 19:10

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.

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.
