Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 19:16

‘But he hung back, and the men seized his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hands of his two daughters, Yahweh being merciful to him, and brought him out and placed him outside the city.’ Lot was still not sure. He did not want to leave behind what he had gained through years of toil and effort. But Yahweh had mercy on him. He would not leave him to die. The angels took the family forcibly to the outside of the city. And there Yahweh Himself speaks to him. The change from ‘they’ to ‘he’,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 19:1-38

Genesis 12:1 to Genesis 25:18 . The Story of Abraham.— In this section the three main sources, J. E, P are present. Gunkel has given strong reasons for holding that J is here made up of two main sources, one connecting Abraham with Hebron, the other with Beersheba and the Negeb. The former associates Abraham with Lot. (For details, see ICC.) On the interpretation to be placed on the figures of Abraham and the patriarchs, see the Introduction. The interest, which has hitherto been diffused... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 19:12-29

Genesis 19:12-Joel : . The men have learnt all they need to know of Sodom’ s character, and tell Lot of its impending fate that he may be rescued with his household. His prospective sons-in-law ( mg.) do not heed his warning, so, as the morning is drawing on, the angels urge him to escape with his wife and daughters. As he lingers, they hurry them out of the city and bid them escape to the mountain, not looking behind or loitering. Lot fears to do this, and is permitted to find refuge in... read more

He lingered, either through lothness to part with all his estate, or to lose his sons-in-law; or through astonishment and distraction of mind, which made him both listless and impotent. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 19:12-22

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 19:12. Son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters.] “The mention of the son-in-law before the sons and daughters is somewhat surprising. Lange has proposed to read thus: ‘Hast thou here any besides as son-in-law?’ (i.e., connected with thee by marriage), and then follows the mention of the members of Lot’s own family. And this would certainly be a more probable arrangement.” (Alford.) Genesis 19:13. The cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord.] Heb. Is... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 19:1-38

Genesis 19:0 Notice: I. Sodom's sinfulness. Her sins were committed amidst an unbounded flush of prosperity; they were committed amidst scenes of much natural loveliness, Nature being outraged before the eye of her most beautiful forms; and they were committed not only in opposition to Nature's silent, but to God's spoken, warnings. II. Notice Sodom's warnings. One was given by the entrance of Lot within its gates; another was given by the advent of Chedorlaomer and the invaders from the east.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 19:1-38

Chapter nineteen of the book of Genesis deals with the destruction of the city of Sodom. The Lord came to Abraham and informed him of the fact that because of the wickedness of Sodom, it was necessary for the judgment of God to come. Abraham pleaded with the Lord for Sodom, interceded actually saying, "But what if there are fifty righteous; would You destroy the righteous with the wicked?" And the basis of Abraham's intercession was the Lord of the earth should be fair, or be just. Even in... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 19:1-38

Genesis 19:1. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom, as a magistrate, no doubt, for the wicked accuse him of making himself a judge or elder. The main gate of a city was the usual place of hearing causes, and administering justice. There is no intimation that he sat there merely for hospitality. Genesis 19:4. Old and young. The whole inhabitants of Sodom were utterly corrupted, and they wished all the world to know the perfection of their wickedness. Genesis 19:5. Know them. This most... read more

I should like to ask you, my beloved friend, if this matter about which you are still hesitating is not of vital importance to you?
