Do you have anyone else here— - Before judgment falls, the angels probe Lot’s household connections, mirroring the way God asked Noah to gather all who belonged to him before the flood (Genesis 7:1). - Mercy precedes wrath; God ensures every opportunity for rescue is extended (Ezekiel 18:23). a son-in-law, your sons or daughters, - The list shows the breadth of concern: marriages (actual or betrothed), sons, and daughters. - Scripture often records God’s desire to preserve entire families when one member walks with Him (Acts 16:31; Exodus 12:3). - Lot’s warning will later reveal his sons-in-law’s unbelief (Genesis 19:14), highlighting individual responsibility within the offer of salvation. or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? - “Belongs to you” points to relational sphere—servants, close friends, anyone under Lot’s influence (cf.

Genesis 4:10; Genesis 18:20 - is waxen great before the face of the Lord (cf.
