Génesis 19:15

15 Al amanecer de la mañana siguiente, los ángeles insistieron:

Génesis 19:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 19:15

And when the morning arose
When it was break of day, for as yet the sun was not risen, nor did it rise until Lot got to Zoar, ( Genesis 19:23 ) . He was now returned from his sons-in-law, and by this time it began to be light: then the angels hastened Lot;
urged him to get out of his house as fast as he could: saying, arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here;
from whence Aben Ezra, and others, have concluded, as has been observed, that he had other daughters elsewhere, which they suppose were married to men of Sodom; but the phrase, "which are here", or "are found", or "are present" ^F20, relates to his wife, as well as his daughters, and only signifies, that he should take all his relations that were present; and these may be only opposed to and distinguished from his sons-in-law that were absent, and refused to hearken to his advice and exhortations. Onkelos paraphrases the words, "who are found faithful with thee"; who believed what the angels said concerning the destruction of Sodom, as well as he, as did his wife and two daughters: lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city;
in the punishment inflicted on the city for their iniquity. See ( Revelation 18:4 ) .

Génesis 19:15 In-Context

13 porque estamos a punto de destruir este lugar por completo. El clamor contra esta ciudad es tan grande que ha llegado hasta el Señor
, y él nos ha enviado para destruirla.

14 Entonces Lot salió con prisa a contarles a los prometidos de sus hijas: «¡Rápido, salgan de la ciudad! El Señor
está a punto de destruirla»; pero los jóvenes pensaron que lo decía en broma.

15 Al amanecer de la mañana siguiente, los ángeles insistieron:
—Apresúrate —le dijeron a Lot—. Toma a tu esposa y a tus dos hijas que están aquí. ¡Vete ahora mismo, o serás arrastrado en la destrucción de la ciudad!

16 Como Lot todavía titubeaba, los ángeles lo agarraron de la mano, y también a su esposa y a sus dos hijas, y los llevaron enseguida a un lugar seguro fuera de la ciudad, porque el Señor
tuvo misericordia de ellos.

17 Cuando quedaron a salvo fuera de la ciudad, uno de los ángeles ordenó:
—¡Corran y salven sus vidas! ¡No miren hacia atrás ni se detengan en ningún lugar del valle! ¡Escapen a las montañas, o serán destruidos!
