Génesis 19:23 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 19:23

And the sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into
Zoar.
] Which is observed partly to point at the time of his entrance into the city, and of the burning of Sodom, which began at the same time; and partly to show what a fine morning it was, and what little appearance there was of such a tempest rising as quickly did; so that the inhabitants of Sodom, who were up so early, little thought of so sudden a catastrophe, and those that were in their beds were at once surprised with it: it was a morning of light and joy to Lot, who was so wonderfully delivered, but a dreadful one to the men of Sodom and the rest of the cities of the plain, with whom the scene was soon altered; likewise from hence it appeared, that the following tempest was extraordinary, and did not proceed from natural causes.

Génesis 19:23 In-Context

21 —Está bien —le respondió—; también esta petición te la concederé. No destruiré la ciudad de que hablas.

22 Pero date prisa y huye de una vez, porque no puedo hacer nada hasta que llegues allí.Por eso aquella ciudad recibió el nombre de Zoar.

23 Lot llegó a Zoar cuando estaba amaneciendo.

24 Entonces el SEÑOR hizo que cayera del cielo una lluvia de fuego y azufre sobre Sodoma y Gomorra.

25 Así destruyó a esas ciudades y a todos sus habitantes, junto con toda la llanura y la vegetación del suelo.
