Genesis 19:1-11
And there came two angels. Or, rather, "the two angels came," referring to those mentioned in the preceding chapter, and there called "men." It seems (from Gen 18:22), that these two angels were sent to Sodom, while the third, who was the Lord or Jehovah, remained with Abraham. Gen 18:1-3, Gen 18:22 rose Gen 18:1-5; Job 31:32; Heb 13:2 bowed Gen 18:2 turn Heb 13:2 wash Gen 18:4 Nay Instead of lo, nay, some manuscripts have lo, to him. "And they said unto him, for we lodge in the street;" where, nevertheless, the negation is understood. Knowing the disposition of the inhabitants, and appearing in the character of mere travellers, they preferred the open street to any house; but not yet willing to make themselves known, as Lot pressed them vehemently, and as they knew him to be a righteous man, they consented to take shelter under his hospitable roof.

Dr. Geddes, to the same purpose, thinks it is compounded of the Arabic sana, which signifies a flash, and or, light. The Targums, in both places where it occurs, render it by eruptions, or flashes of light, or as Mercer, in Robertson, explains the Chaldee word, irradiations. 2Kgs 6:18; Acts 13:11 that they Eccl 10:15; Isa 57:10; Jer 2:36
