Genesis 19:15

But as soon as, the dawn had sprung up, the messengers hastened Lot saying,—Arise! take thy wife and thy two daughters that are at hand, lest thou be swept away in the punishment of the city.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

In Context

14And Lot went forth and spake unto his sons-in-law who were about to take his two daughters and said Arise come forth out of this place, for Yahweh is about to destroy the city. And it came to pass, that he was as one that laughed, in the eyes of his sons-in-law.

16And he lingered—so the men laid hold of his hand and of the hand of his wife and of the hand of his two daughters, in the tenderness of Yahweh towards him,—and they brought him out and led him forth outside the city.
