Genesis 19:14

the LORD. Compare the "we" of Genesis 19:13 . Hebrew. Jehovah.

one that mocked. [ talked nonsense ] See notes on next page.

one that mocked = talked nonsense. He had looked, and pitched his tent toward Sodom, had dwelt and made his home there, and married his daughters, and sat in its gate as a judge. No wonder he seemed as one that mocked. He chose Sodom (Genesis 13:11 ), and "lingered" in the place of his choice (Genesis 19:16 ). See note, Genesis 13:7 .
