Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 19:14

Which married his daughters; Heb. took, or were taking, or about to take, to wit, either to espouse, or to marry. Compare Genesis 6:2; Genesis 24:3; Genesis 28:6; Deuteronomy 7:3. Anciently persons were first espoused, and after some time the marriage was consummated. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 19:15

Which are here; Heb. which are found; i.e. which are present with thee, as this word is used, 1 Chronicles 29:17; 2 Chronicles 5:11; 2 Chronicles 30:21; 2 Chronicles 31:1. Whence some gather that he had two other daughters married to two Sodomitish men, who by their husbands’ persuasion and example staid and perished in those flames. But this is not necessary; for this phrase may be applied to the daughters by way of distinction from their spouses or husbands: q.d. Tarry no longer in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 19:16

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 19:17

Either one of the angels said this, or the third person, the Lord himself, who having parted from Abraham, after some time came to Lot, as appears both by the change of the number; for before this he speaks of them in the plural number, but from hence in the singular number, as Genesis 19:19,Genesis 19:21-22; and by the variation of the phrase, for the other two speak with submission, and as servants, Genesis 19:13, The Lord hath sent us, & c.; but this speaks with more authority, as is... 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

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Genesis 19:17

DISCOURSE: 31LOT DELIVERED OUT OF SODOMGenesis 19:17. And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain: escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.IT is extremely profitable to observe how ready God is to honour those who honour him. Lot had been a very distinguished character in Sodom. He had seen and heard with much concern the iniquities that were committed by those around him: “he had... read more
