Genesi 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 ) .

Genesi 19:27 In-Context

25 ed egli distrusse quelle città e tutta la pianura e tutti gli abitanti delle città e quanto cresceva sul suolo.

26 Ma la moglie di Lot si volse a guardare indietro, e diventò una statua di sale.

27 E Abrahamo si levò la mattina a buon’ora, e andò al luogo dove s’era prima fermato davanti all’Eterno;

28 guardò verso Sodoma e Gomorra e verso tutta la regione della pianura, ed ecco vide un fumo che si levava dalla terra, come il fumo d’una fornace.

29 Così avvenne che, quando Iddio distrusse le città della pianura, egli si ricordò d’Abrahamo, e fece partir Lot di mezzo al disastro, allorché sovvertì le città dove Lot avea dimorato.
