Overview
Gen 19:1, Lot entertains two angels; Gen 19:4, The vicious Sodomites are smitten with blindness; Gen 19:12, Lot is warned, and in vain warns his sons-in-law; Gen 19:15, He is directed to flee with his family to the mountains, but obtains leave to go into Zoar; Gen 19:24, Sodom and Gomorrah are destroyed; Gen 19:26, Lot's wife becomes a pillar of salt; Gen 19:29, Lot dwells in a cave; Gen 19:31, The incestuous origin of Moab and Ammon.
And there came two angels. Or, rather, "the two angels came," referring to those mentioned in the preceding chapter, and there called "men." It seems (from Gen 18:22), that these two angels were sent to Sodom, while the third, who was the Lord or Jehovah, remained with Abraham.

Nay: Instead of lo, nay, some manuscripts have lo, to him. "And they said unto him, for we lodge in the street;" where, nevertheless, the negation is understood. Knowing the disposition of the inhabitants, and appearing in the character of mere travellers, they preferred the open street to any house; but not yet willing to make themselves known, as Lot pressed them vehemently, and as they knew him to be a righteous man, they consented to take shelter under his hospitable roof.

with blindness: The word sanverim, rendered "blindness," and which occurs only here, and in Kg2 6:18, is supposed to denote dazzlings, deceptions, or confusions of sight from excessive light; being derived by Schultens, who is followed by Parkhurst, from the Arabic sana, to pour forth, diffuse, and nor, light. Dr. Geddes, to the same purpose, thinks it is compounded of the Arabic sana, which signifies a flash, and or, light. The Targums, in both places where it occurs, render it by eruptions, or flashes of light, or as Mercer, in Robertson, explains the Chaldee word, irradiations. Kg2 6:18; Act 13:11

brimstone: The word rendered "brimstone," (q.d. brennestone, or brinnestone, id est burning-stone), is always rendered by the LXX "sulphur," and seems to denote a meteorous inflammable matter.

looked: This unhappy woman, says the Rev. T. Scott, "looked back," contrary to God's express command, perhaps with a hope of returning, which latter supposition is favoured by our Lord's words, "Let him not return back. remember Lot's wife." She was, therefore, instantaneously struck dead and petrified, and thus remained to after ages a visible monument of the Divine displeasure. Gen 19:17; Pro 14:14; Luk 17:31, Luk 17:32; Heb 10:38
