It was not the custom, nor was there any necessity, for strangers to knock at the door, or to speak first, but to stand till they were invited.Reciprocal12:7 - appeared; 18:22 - stood; 19:1 - General; 20:1 - from; 31:11 - the angel; 35:9 - General; 35:27 - Mamre; Exodus 4:5 - the Lord; Habakkuk 3:1 - dwelling Verse 2And heJudges 13:3, 13:9; Habakkuk 3:1 threeGenesis 18:22, 19:1; Habakkuk 3:1; 1 Peter 4:9 he ranRomans 12:13 bowedGenesis 23:7, 33:3-7, 43:26, 43:28, 44:14; Ruth 2:10; 2 Kings 2:15ReciprocalGenesis 23:12 - General; 32:13 - a present; 42:6 - bowed; 48:12 - he bowed himself; Exodus 18:7 - did obeisance; Numbers 22:36 - went; Joshua 5:13 - a man; Judges 19:15 - no man; 2 Samuel 9:6 - he fell; 12:4 - a traveller; 24:20 - bowed; 1 Kings 18:7 - fell on; Isaiah 58:7 - bring; Ezekiel 10:1 - as the; Matthew 25:35 - I was a; Luke 24:4 - two men; Habakkuk 3:1 - dwelling Verse 3favourGenesis 32:5Reciprocal30:27 - favour; 34:11 - General; 39:4 - Joseph; 47:25 - let us; 50:4 - found grace; Judges 6:18 - bring; 13:15 - let us; Luke 19:5 - for Verse 4wash your feetIn those ancient times, shoes such as ours, were not in use; and the foot was protected only with sandals or soles, fastened round the foot with straps.

Dr. Geddes, to the same purpose, thinks it is compounded of the Arabic sana, which signifies a flash, and or, light. The Targums, in both places where it occurs, render it by eruptions, or flashes of light, or as Mercer, in Robertson, explains the Chaldee word, irradiations. 6:18; Acts 13:11 that theyEcclesiastes 10:15; Isaiah 57:10; Jeremiah 2:36Reciprocal1 Kings 13:4 - his hand; 22:31 - small nor great; 2 Kings 23:2 - both small and great; 2 Chronicles 15:13 - whether small; 18:30 - small or great; Job 12:25 - grope; Jeremiah 9:5 - weary; Luke 11:34 - but; John 8:59 - but; Acts 9:8 - he saw Verse 12HastGenesis 7:1; Numbers 16:26; Joshua 6:22, 6:23; Jeremiah 32:39; 2 Peter 2:7, 2:9 sonGenesis 19:14, 19:17, 19:22; Revelation 18:4ReciprocalJoshua 2:18 - thy father; 1 Samuel 15:6 - depart; Jeremiah 51:45 - deliver Verse 13cryGenesis 13:13, 18:20; James 5:4 Lord hath1 Chronicles 21:15, 21:16; Psalm 11:5, 11:6; Isaiah 3:11, 36:10, 37:36; Ezekiel 9:5, 9:6; Matthew 13:41, 13:42, 13:49, 13:50; Acts 12:23; Romans 3:8, 3:9; Jude 1:7; Revelation 16:1-12ReciprocalGenesis 38:7 - wicked; Job 8:4 - he have cast; Revelation 18:4 - Come Verse 14whichMatthew 1:18 UpGenesis 19:17, 19:22; Numbers 16:21, 16:26, 16:45; Jeremiah 51:6; Luke 9:42; Revelation 18:4-8 as oneExodus 9:21, 12:31; 2 Chronicles 30:10, 36:16; Proverbs 29:1; Isaiah 28:22; Jeremiah 5:12-14; 20:7; Ezekiel 20:49; Matthew 9:24; Luke 17:28-30, 24:11; Acts 17:32; 1 Thessalonians 5:3ReciprocalGenesis 19:12 - son; 34:9 - General; Exodus 32:1 - Up; Judges 4:14 - Up; 1 Samuel 9:26 - Up; Ecclesiastes 5:13 - riches; Isaiah 58:7 - thine own; Jeremiah 16:2 - General; Matthew 22:5 - they; Mark 4:15 - these; 5:40 - they; John 9:18 - General; Habakkuk 3:1 - warned; 2 Peter 3:4 - where Verse 15hastenedGenesis 19:17, 19:22; Numbers 16:24-27; Proverbs 6:4, 6:5; Luke 13:24, 13:25; 2 Corinthians 6:2; Habakkuk 3:7, 3:8; Revelation 18:4 are hereHeb. are foundiniquityor, punishmentReciprocalGenesis 32:31 - rose upon; Numbers 16:21 - Separate; 2 Chronicles 31:1 - present; Jeremiah 51:6 - be not; Ezekiel 7:7 - morning; Daniel 3:28 - hath sent; Matthew 24:16 - General; Mark 13:15 - General; Acts 12:7 - Arise; Habakkuk 1:14 - sent Verse 16lingeredPsalm 119:60; John 6:44 the LordExodus 34:6; Numbers 14:18; Deuteronomy 4:31; 1 Chronicles 16:34; Psalm 34:12, 86:5, 86:15, 103:8-10; 103:13, 106:1, 106:8, 107:1, 111:4, 118:1, 136:1; Isaiah 63:9; Lamentations 3:22; Micah 7:18, 7:19; Luke 6:35, 6:36, 18:13; Romans 9:15, 9:16, 9:18; 2 Corinthians 1:3; Ephesians 2:4, 2:5; Titus 3:5 broughtJoshua 6:22; 2 Peter 2:9ReciprocalGenesis 43:10 - General; Exodus 15:13 - Thou; Daniel 3:28 - hath sent; Luke 17:29 - General; Acts 12:7 - Arise; Habakkuk 1:14 - sent; 3:1 - I took; 2 Peter 2:7 - delivered Verse 17he saidGenesis 18:22 Escape19:14, 19:15, 19:22; 1 Samuel 19:11; 1 Kings 19:3; Psalm 121:1; Matthew 3:7, 24:16-18; Habakkuk 2:3 lookGenesis 19:26; Luke 9:62, 17:31, 17:32; Philippians 3:13, 3:14ReciprocalGenesis 13:10 - the plain; 13:11 - chose; 14:10 - the mountain; 19:12 - son; 19:30 - Lot; 1 Kings 1:12 - save; Proverbs 28:22 - and; Jeremiah 46:5 - fled apace; 48:6 - Flee; Micah 1:13 - bind; Zechariah 2:6 - and flee; 2:7 - Deliver; Matthew 2:22 - he was; Luke 12:23 - General; 21:21 - flee; Philippians 3:7 - General Verse 18Genesis 32:26; 2 Kings 5:11, 5:12; Isaiah 45:11; John 13:6-8; Acts 9:13, 10:14ReciprocalGenesis 48:18 - Not so Verse 19and thouPsalm 18:1-50, 40:1-17, 103:1-22, 106:1-107:43, 116:1-19; 1 Timothy 1:14-16 lest someGenesis 12:13; Deuteronomy 31:17; 1 Samuel 27:1; 1 Kings 9:9; Psalm 77:7-11, 116:11; Matthew 8:25, 8:26; Mark 9:19; Romans 8:31ReciprocalGenesis 6:8 - General; 33:10 - if now; 39:4 - Joseph; Exodus 33:17 - thou hast; Numbers 32:5 - if we have; Job 10:12 - life and favour; Acts 7:27 - he that Verse 20thisGenesis 19:30; Proverbs 3:5-7; Amos 3:6 and myGenesis 12:13; Psalm 119:175; Isaiah 55:3ReciprocalGenesis 13:10 - Zoar; 14:2 - Zoar; 14:8 - same; 19:22 - Zoar; 1 Corinthians 10:13 - make Verse 21IGenesis 4:7; Job 42:8, 42:9; Psalm 34:15, 102:17, 145:19; Jeremiah 14:10; Matthew 12:20; Luke 11:8; Habakkuk 2:17, 3:1, 3:1 theeHeb. thy facethatGenesis 12:2, 18:24ReciprocalExodus 7:1 - See; 33:17 - I will do; 1 Samuel 25:35 - accepted; Acts 27:24 - lo; 1 Corinthians 10:13 - make Verse 22forGenesis 32:25-28; Exodus 32:10; Deuteronomy 9:14; Psalm 91:1-10; Isaiah 65:8; Mark 6:5; 2 Timothy 2:13; Titus 1:2 calledGenesis 13:10, 14:2; Isaiah 15:5; Jeremiah 48:34 Zoari.e. little, Genesis 19:20Reciprocal14:8 - same; 19:12 - son; 19:14 - Up; 19:15 - hastened; 19:17 - Escape; Deuteronomy 34:3 - Zoar; Mark 13:15 - General; Acts 27:24 - lo; Habakkuk 3:1 - who; 2 Peter 2:7 - delivered Verse 23risenHeb. gone forth, Genesis 19:23Reciprocal32:31 - rose upon Verse 24the LordDeuteronomy 29:23; Job 18:15; Psalm 11:6; Isaiah 1:9, 13:19; Jeremiah 20:16, 49:18, 50:40; Lamentations 4:6; Ezekiel 16:49, 16:50; Hosea 11:8; Amos 4:11; Zephaniah 2:9; Matthew 11:23, 11:24; Luke 17:28, 17:29; 2 Peter 2:6; Jude 1:7 brimstoneThe word rendered "brimstone," - q.d. brennestone, or brinnestone, id est burning-stone
