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.
Adam Clarke
While he lingered - Probably in affectionate though useless entreaties to prevail on the remaining parts of his family to escape from the destruction that was now descending; laid hold upon his hand - pulled them away by mere force, the Lord being merciful; else they had been left to perish in their lingering, as the others were in their gainsaying.
