Context — The Destruction of Sodomgenerated

11And they struck the men at the entrance, young and old, with blindness, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the door.
12Then the two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—a son-in-law, your sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here,
13because we are about to destroy this place. For the outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that He has sent us to destroy it.”
14So Lot went out and spoke to the sons-in-law who were pledged in marriage to his daughters. “Get up,” he said. “Get out of this place, for the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.

Genesis 19:12 describes a critical moment when two angels warn Lot to evacuate his family from Sodom before its destruction. This verse highlights the urgency of the situation as the angels seek to ensure the safety of Lot's loved ones amidst impending judgment. The context is filled with tension, as Lot is urged to act swiftly to save those he cares about from the city's fate, which is elaborated in the subsequent verses.

The Key Word עֹ֚ד, 'odgenerated

The Hebrew word עוֹד ('od) primarily means 'yet' or 'still,' indicating the continuation of a situation or the presence of additional elements. It serves as an adverb that can imply persistence or repetition, often used to introduce further information or questions.

In this verse, it emphasizes the urgency of the inquiry regarding Lot's family, suggesting there may be more people to save, highlighting the angels' concern for Lot's safety and that of his relatives.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses yet for עֹ֚ד, while the KJV and ASV also follow this rendering.

Where others part company with the BSB is over עֹ֚ד — the GNV opts for yet, while the BBE translates it as any others, indicating a different focus in the urgency of the request.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb יֹּאמְר֨וּ (vai.yo.me.Ru), and they said, governs the entire verse, with multiple phrases detailing what the angels are asking Lot. The structure emphasizes the urgency of their message as they inquire about Lot's family and any others who may need to be saved.

The sentence unfolds with the angels addressing Lot directly and listing the potential family members to be rescued, culminating in the imperative הוֹצֵ֖א (ho.Tze'), bring out, which calls for immediate action.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates יֹּאמְר֨וּ as εἶπαν (eipan), meaning 'they said,' which aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning. This choice reflects a straightforward rendering of the dialogue without additional interpretive layers.

The term עֹ֚ד is rendered as ἔτι (eti), which also means 'yet' or 'still,' maintaining the sense of continuation in the inquiry about Lot's family.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Genesis 19:12 shows two angels telling Lot to gather his family and anyone else he cares about before the city is destroyed. They ask if he has anyone else here, like a son-in-law or daughters, and urge him to get them out of the city quickly.


Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

What do the angels mean by asking if Lot has anyone else?

The angels are concerned for Lot's safety and want to ensure that all of his family members and loved ones are saved from the destruction of Sodom.

Why is it important that Lot's family is mentioned?

Lot's family is central to the narrative, as their safety is a priority for the angels, reflecting the theme of mercy amidst judgment.

What does the term 'son-in-law' imply in this context?

The term 'son-in-law' refers to Lot's daughters' husbands, indicating that the angels are urging Lot to consider all his relatives who might need to escape.

AdamClarkeAdam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Verse 12. Hast thou here any besides? son-in-law] Here there appears to be but one meant, as the word חתן chathan is in the singular number; but in Genesis 19:14 the word is plural, חתיו chathanaiv, his sons-in-law. There were only two in number; as we do not hear that Lot had more than two daughters: and these seem not to have been actually married to those daughters, but only betrothed, as is evident from what Lot says, Genesis 19:8; for they had not known man, but were the spouses elect of those who are here called his sons-in-law. But though these might be reputed as a part of Lot's family, and entitled on this account to God's protection, yet it is sufficiently plain that they did not…

We should expect the sons and daughters first. Then again, why “son in law” in the singular? LXX has γαμβροί, which is probably a correction; Lat. generum. The proposal of Holzinger to put “son in law” in the previous clause is no improvement. Its prominence would be an additional difficulty.

Lot

(Heb. goral, a “pebble”), a small stone used in casting lots (Num. 33:54; Jonah 1:7). The lot was always resorted to by the Hebrews with strictest reference to the interposition of God, and as a method of ascertaining the divine will (Prov. 16:33), and in serious cases of doubt (Esther 3:7). Thus the lot was used at the division of the land of Canaan among the serveral tribes (Num. 26:55; 34:13), at the detection of Achan (Josh. 7:14, 18), the election of Saul to be king (1 Sam. 10:20, 21), the distribution of…

Smith's Bible Dictionary

(literally a pebble). The custom of deciding doubtful questions by lot is one of great extent and high antiquity. Among the Jews lots were used with the expectation that God would so control them as to give a right direction to them. They were very often used by God’s appointment. "As to the mode of casting lots, we have no certain information. Probably several modes were practiced." "Very commonly among the Latins little counters of wood were put into a jar with so narrow a neck that only one could come out at a time. After the jar had been filled with water and the contents shaken, the lots were determined by the order in which the bits of wood, representing the several parties, came out with the water. in other cases they were put into a wide open jar, and the counters were drawn out by the hand. Sometimes again they were cast in the manner of dice. The soldiers who cast lots for…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

The son of Haran, and nephew of Abraham, followed his uncle from Ur, and afterwards from Haran, to settle in Canaan, Ge 11:31 12:4-6 13:1. Abraham always had a great affection for him, and when they could not continue longer together in Canaan, because they both had large flocks and their shepherds sometimes quarreled, Ge 13:5-7, he gave Lot the choice of his abode. Lot chose the plain of Sodom, which appears then to have been the most fertile parts of the land. Here he continued to dwell till the destruction of Sodom and the adjacent cities. He was a righteous man even in Sodom, 2Pe 2:7; but the calamities consequent upon his choice of this residence-his capture by eastern marauders, the molestation caused by his ungodly and…

1. Origin:

The development of the Canaanite city has been traced by Macalister in his report on the excavation at Gezer (Palestine Exploration Fund Statement, 1904, 108 ff). It originated on the slopes of a bare rocky spur, in which the Neolithic Troglodytes quarried their habitations out of the solid rock, the stones therefrom being used to form a casing to the earthen ramparts, with which the site was afterwards surrounded and which served as a protection against the intrusion of enemies.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

City

The earliest mention of city-building is that of Enoch, which was built by Cain (Gen. 4:17). After the confusion of tongues, the descendants of Nimrod founded several cities (10:10-12). Next, we have a record of the cities of the Canaanites, Sidon, Gaza, Sodom, etc. (10:12, 19; 11:3, 9; 36:31-39). The earliest description of a city is that of Sodom (19:1-22). Damascus is said to be the oldest existing city in the world. Before the time of Abraham there were cities in Egypt (Num. 13:22). The Israelites in Egypt were employed in building the “treasure cities” of Pithom and Raamses (Ex. 1:11); but it does not seem that they had any cities of their own in Goshen (Gen.…

plas: Normally for maqom, Old Testament, and topos, New Testament, but in the King James Version "place" represents a great number of Hebrew and Greek words, often used with no difference in force (e.g. 2Ch 35:10,15). the Revised Version (British and American) has made few changes, but occasionally has attempted to specialize the meaning (Ge 40:13; Job 37:8; Ac 8:32; Jas 3:11, etc.).
