The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 19:5

And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Josephus supposes them to have been of beautiful countenances ('Ant.,' 1.11, 3), which excited the lust of the Sodomites, and caused them to assault Lot's house with shameful cries. Bring them out unto us, that we may know them . The sin here euphemistically referred to (cf. 19:22 ) was exceedingly prevalent among the Canaanites (Le Genesis 18:22 ) and other heathen nations ( Romans 1:27 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 19:6-8

And Lot went out at the door unto them ,—literally, at the doorway , or opening ( pethach , from pathach , to open; cf. pateo , Latin; πρόθυρον , LXX .); in which the gate or hanging door ( deleth, from dalai, to be pendulous) swings, and which it closes — and shut the door ( deleth, ut supra; θύρα , LXX .) after him,—to protect his visitors, which he also sought to accomplish by personal exhortation— and said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly —and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 19:4-5

Genesis 19:4-5 . No description which could be given of their vile and abominable conduct, however laboured, could possibly have conveyed so striking an idea of their unparalleled wickedness, as this simple narrative of facts. Here were old and young, all from every quarter Collected for practices too shameful to be mentioned! Either they had no magistrates to protect the peaceable, or their magistrates themselves were aiding and abetting. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 19:1-38

Sodom and Gomorrah (19:1-38)Meanwhile the two messengers arrived in Sodom. Lot, knowing the danger that strangers faced in the streets of Sodom at night, welcomed them into his house (19:1-3). Although Lot did not agree with the immoral practices of Sodom (2 Peter 2:7-8), he apparently did not have the courage to oppose them. He was even prepared to allow the sexual perverts of the city to rape his daughters, in order to protect his two guests from homosexual assault. In a blinding judgment,... read more

"But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; and they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men that came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. And Lot went out unto them to the door, and shut the door after him. And he said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 19:4-5

Genesis 19:4-5. The men of the city, both old and young, &c.— The men of this abandoned city, being informed of the arrival of these strangers (who probably were of a very beautiful appearance) flocked from all quarters of the town, numbers of every age, with the most infamous purpose, shocking to relate or think of. Their crime, though exquisitely horrid in itself, became, if it were possible, still more so, by being attempted upon the persons of strangers, to violate whom has been... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 19:1-11

The men of Sodom wanted to have homosexual relations with Lot’s visitors (Genesis 19:5). The Mosaic Law later regarded all homosexual behavior as a capital offense (Leviticus 18:22; Leviticus 20:13; cf. Romans 1:26-27). [Note: For a refutation of denials of this view, see P. Michael Ukleja, "Homosexuality and the Old Testament," Bibliotheca Sacra 140:559 (July-September 1983):259-66. On the modern resurgence of homosexuality and its connection with ancient religious paganism, see Peter Jones,... read more
