Genèse 19:27 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 19:27

And Abraham got up early in the morning
Perhaps he had had but little sleep the whole night, his thoughts being taken up with what was to befall the cities of the plain; and especially being in great concern for Lot and his family:

to the place where he stood before the Lord;
( Genesis 18:22 ) ; to the very spot of ground where he had stood the day before in the presence of the Lord, and had conversed with him, and prayed unto him; and so the Targum of Jonathan,

``to the place where he ministered in prayer before the Lord;''

here he came and stood waiting for an answer to his prayers; and perhaps this place was an eminence, from whence he could have a view of the plain of Jordan and the cities on it; and so it appears from ( Genesis 19:28 ) .

Genèse 19:27 In-Context

25 Et il détruisit ces villes et toute la plaine, et tous les habitants des villes, et les germes de la terre.

26 Mais la femme de Lot regarda derrière elle, et elle devint une statue de sel.

27 Et Abraham se leva de bon matin, et vint au lieu où il s'était tenu devant l'Éternel.

28 Et il regarda vers Sodome et Gomorrhe, et sur toute la surface du pays de la plaine, et il vit monter de la terre une fumée comme la fumée d'une fournaise.

29 Or, lorsque Dieu détruisit les villes de la plaine, Dieu se souvint d'Abraham, et il fit partir Lot du milieu de la ruine, quand il renversa les villes où Lot avait habité.
