Early the next morning
This phrase indicates a sense of urgency and dedication in Abraham's actions. The Hebrew word for "early" is "שָׁכַם" (shakam), which often implies rising with purpose or diligence. Abraham's early rising reflects his deep concern and commitment to his relationship with God, as well as his desire to witness the outcome of the divine judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah. This dedication serves as an example for believers to prioritize their spiritual duties and seek God earnestly.

Abraham got up
The act of getting up signifies readiness and action. Abraham's physical movement mirrors his spiritual alertness and willingness to engage with God's will. In the Hebrew context, "קָם" (qam) can also mean to stand or rise, symbolizing a readiness to fulfill one's duty. Abraham's actions remind believers of the importance of being spiritually vigilant and responsive to God's call.

and returned to the place
The phrase "returned to the place" suggests a deliberate revisiting of a significant location. This place is where Abraham previously interceded for Sodom, highlighting the importance of sacred spaces in one's spiritual journey. The Hebrew word "שׁוּב" (shuv) for "returned" often implies repentance or turning back, which can symbolize a return to God's presence and purposes. This teaches believers about the value of revisiting moments of divine encounter and prayer.

where he had stood before the LORD
This phrase emphasizes the intimate relationship between Abraham and God. The Hebrew word "עָמַד" (amad) for "stood" conveys a sense of standing firm or being established, indicating Abraham's steadfast faith and trust in God. Standing "before the LORD" signifies a position of humility and reverence, acknowledging God's sovereignty and authority. This serves as a powerful reminder for believers to maintain a posture of humility and faithfulness in their walk with God, continually seeking His presence and guidance.

(27) Abraham gat up early in the morning.--This was necessary, because he had a walk of some miles before he reached "the place where he stood before Jehovah" on the previous evening; and probably the mighty forces which overthrew the cities had been some hours at work when he reached the head of the ravine through which the terrible scene became visible. Naturally his anxiety to know the result of his intercession, and the fate of his brother's son, would urge him to be on foot at the early dawn.

Verse 27. - And Abraham gat up early in the morning (of the catastrophe) to the place (i.e. and went to the place) where he stood before the Lord (vide on Genesis 18:22).
