1. Genesis 19:15

   At daybreak the angels hurried Lot along, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.”

   ›Commentary on Genesis 19:151 voice

   “Let us flee like Lot, who feared the crimes of the people of Sodom more than their punishments. A holy man surely, he chose to shut his house to the men of Sodom and flee the contagion of their offenses. When he dwelt with them, he did not come to know them, for he did not know their outrages and turned away from their disgraces. When he fled, he did not look back on them, for he did not desire to associate with them.

2. Genesis 49:6

   May I never enter their council; may I never join their assembly. For they kill men in their anger, and hamstring oxen on a whim.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 49:61 voice

   “Likewise, when he said to Simeon and Levi, "I will divide you in Jacob and scatter you in Israel," he revealed that they were to be redeemed in the gathering together of the nations. For when the shepherd has been struck down, the flock that was previously brought together is scattered; thus one who did not belong could enter in and all Israel could be saved.

4. Exodus 23:32

   You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.

   ›Commentary on Exodus 23:321 voice

   “Thou shalt make no covenant with them,.... A covenant of peace, a league, a confederacy, so as to take them to be their allies and friends; but they were always to consider them as their enemies, until they had made an utter end of them; though the Gibeonites by craft and guile obtained a league of them; but the methods they took to get it show they had some knowledge of this law, that the Israelites might not, or at least would not, make any league or covenant with the inhabitants of the land of Canaan.
