23

The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.

EXPLANATION

Verse 23. Risen. It was morning when he left Sodom; (verse 15) so this city must not have been very distant. It was before called Bala, or swallowed up, and afterwards Salissa. Theodoret supposes it was destroyed as soon as Lot had left it; and it seems Lot’s daughters thought so, since they concluded all men, except their father, had perished.
