John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 19:20

Behold now, this city is near to flee unto ,.... Pointing to Bela, afterwards called Zoar, from what follows: it is said to be two miles distant from Sodom F26 Bunting's Travels, p. 63. . But the Jews F1 T. Hieros. Beracot, fol. 2,3. & Gloss. in ib. say it was four miles, and some say F2 T. Bab. Pesachim, fol. 94. 1. five; for they reckon that a man may go five miles from the ascent of the morning (or break of day) till the sun shines out: and it is a little one ... read more

And he said unto him, see, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also ,.... Accepted thy prayer and granted thy request, as well as in other things; shown grace and mercy to thee: or, "have lifted up thy face" F5 נשאתי פניך "suscepi faciem tuam", Pagninus, Moatanus, Vatablus, Drusius, Piscator. ; alluding to the custom of the eastern countries, where persons, when they come into the presence of their superiors, used to prostrate their faces to the ground; when, as a token of... read more

Haste thee, escape thither ,.... Seeing he had granted him his request, he is urgent upon him to be gone, and not to delay upon any account, or make other excuses: for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither ; that is, consistent with the decree of God, that Lot and his family should be delivered and preserved, and with his promise made to him, that he would not overthrow that city; and therefore the catastrophe which would befall all the cities at once could not begin until he... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 19:12

Hast thou here any besides? son-in-law - Here there appears to be but one meant, as the word חתן chathan is in the singular number; but in Genesis 19:14 ; the word is plural, חתיו chathanaiv , his sons-in-law. There were only two in number; as we do not hear that Lot had more than two daughters: and these seem not to have been actually married to those daughters, but only betrothed, as is evident from what Lot says, Genesis 19:8 ; for they had not known man, but were the spouses... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 19:16

While he lingered - Probably in affectionate though useless entreaties to prevail on the remaining parts of his family to escape from the destruction that was now descending; laid hold upon his hand - pulled them away by mere force, the Lord being merciful; else they had been left to perish in their lingering, as the others were in their gainsaying. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 19:17

When they had brought them forth, etc. - Every word here is emphatic, Escape for thy Life; thou art in the most imminent danger of perishing; thy life and thy soul are both at stake. Look not behind thee - thou hast but barely time enough to escape from the judgment that is now descending; no lingering, or thou art lost! one look back may prove fatal to thee, and God commands thee to avoid it. Neither stay thou in all the plain, because God will destroy that as well as the city. Escape to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 19:19

I cannot escape to the mountain - He saw the destruction so near, that he imagined he should not have time sufficient to reach the mountain before it arrived. He did not consider that God could give no command to his creatures that it would be impossible for them to fulfill; but the hurry and perturbation of his mind will at once account for and excuse this gross oversight. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 19:20

It is a little one - Probably Lot wished to have it for an inheritance, and therefore pleaded its being a little one, that his request might be the more readily granted. Or he might suppose, that being a little city, it was less depraved than Sodom and Gomorrah, and therefore not so ripe for punishment; which was probably the case. read more

See, I have accepted thee - How prevalent is prayer with God! Far from refusing to grant a reasonable petition, he shows himself as if under embarrassment to deny any. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 19:22

I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither - So these heavenly messengers had the strictest commission to take care of Lot and his family; and even the purposes of Divine justice could not be accomplished on the rebellious, till this righteous man and his family had escaped from the place. A proof of Abraham's assertion, The Judge of all the earth will do right. The name of the city was called Zoar - צוער Tsoar , Little, its former name being Bela. read more
