Genesis
19:15
And when the morning arose, then
the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters,
which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
a. NLT: At dawn the next morning the
angels became insistent. “Hurry,” they said to Lot. “Take your wife and your
two daughters who are here. Get out right now, or you will be swept away in the
destruction of the city!”
b. NIV: With the coming of dawn, the
angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are
here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.”
c. Amplified Bible: When
morning came, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, Arise, take your wife and two
daughters who are here [and be off], lest you [too] be consumed and swept
away in the iniquity and punishment of the city.
d. Septuagint: But when it was
morning, the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise and take thy wife, and thy two
daughters whom thou hast, and go forth; lest thou also be destroyed with the
iniquities of the city.
e. Stone Edition Torah/Writings/Prophets:
Just as dawn was breaking, the angels urged Lot on saying: “Get up—take your
wife and your two daughters who are present, lest you be swept away because of
the sin of the city!”
1. “And when
the morning arose…”
a. when [3644 * kmow] [Strong: a form
of the prefix "k-", but used separately (Compare 3651); as,
thus, so:--according to, (such) as (it were, well as), in comparison of, like
(as, to, unto), thus, when, worth.]
b. morning [7837 * shachar] [Strong: from 7836;

in a great variety of senses, primary and secondary, literal and figurative (as
follow):--arise (up), (cause to) ascend up, at once, break (the day) (up),
bring (up), (cause to) burn, carry up, cast up, + shew, climb (up), (cause to,
make to) come (up), cut off, dawn, depart, exalt, excel, fall, fetch up, get

1). The angels arrived in Sodom “at
even”, around 6 PM. They entered Lot’s house shortly after. The whole ordeal,
the meal, the gathering of the mob and the attempted violence, and the attempt
of Lot to convince his sons-in-law to leave Sodom lasted about 12 hours.
2. “…then the angels hastened Lot…”
a. angels [4397 * mal’ak] [Strong: from an unused root meaning to despatch as a
deputy; a messenger; specifically, of God, i.e. an angel (also a prophet,

c. Lot [3876 * Lowt] [Strong: the same
as 3875; Lot, Abraham's nephew:--Lot.]
After Lot came back from trying to
convince his sons in law about the imminent destruction, the angels attempted
to get Lot and his family to leave. Scripture says they “hastened Lot”, as the
morning arose. They tried to hurry Lot and his family to leave before they were
destroyed with the rest of the city. It is very probable that Lot and his
family were delaying their escape out of concern for the rest of their family.
The city was to be destroyed and their family didn’t believe it, so in confusing
desperation they delayed to leave.
