Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 19:1

1. AND there came two Angels to Sodom at even , and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom : and Lot seeing them, rose up to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground.

Even those two which departed from Abraham, Chap. 18. 22. and now were come to Lot, the third yet staying and communing with Abraham.

So they truly were, though they be called Men, chap. 18.

Of the same day on which they departed from Abraham.

Where he sat either to observe the administration or corruption of justice there, for the seats of Judicature were in the gates: Or rather to wait for strangers to whom he might exercise kindness and hospitality.
