Genesis 19:16
Douay-Rheims
And as he lingered, they took his hand, and the hand of his wife, and of his two daughters, because the Lord spared him.
Rashi
ויתמהמה BUT HE LINGERED in order to save his property. ויחזיקו AND THE MEN LAID HOLD [UPON HIS HAND]— One of these was commissioned to rescue him whilst his fellow was to overthrow Sodom; that is why it is stated (v. 17) “And he said, escape”, and it is not stated “And they said” (Genesis Rabbah 50:11).
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
