"Instead of lo, nay, some MSS. 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. Jdg 19:17-21; Luk 24:28,29; Act 16:15" |
