Exegesis
The locative-temporal phrase sedomah ba'erev {סְדֹמָה בָּעֶרֶב | sə-ḏō-māh bā-ʿe-reḇ} ‘to Sodom in the evening’ sets both place and time.
In context — Genesis 19:1
In the evening, the two angels arrived at Sodom. Lot was seated at the gate of Sodom; when he noticed them, he stood to greet them and bowed down, his face toward the ground.
