Exegesis
The verse opens with the temporal construction u-kemo {וּכְמוֹ | û-kə-mô} + ha-shakhar {הַשַּׁחַר | haš-šā-ḥar} + ʿā-lāh {עָלָה | ʿā-lāh}, “and as the dawn rose,” setting a morning scene.
In context — Genesis 19:15
As the dawn was rising, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are found here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.”
