[19:18]  ¹ tn Or “my lords.” See the following note on the problem of identifying the addressee here. The Hebrew term is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[19:23]  ² sn The sun had just risen. There was very little time for Lot to escape between dawn (v. 15) and sunrise (here).

[19:23]  ³ tn The juxtaposition of the two disjunctive clauses indicates synchronic action. The first action (the sun’s rising) occurred as the second (Lot’s entering Zoar) took place. The disjunctive clauses also signal closure for the preceding scene.

[19:26]  ³ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Lot) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:26]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew verb means “to look intently; to gaze” (see 15:5).

[13:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “was going.”

[13:5]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew idiom is “to Lot…there was,” the preposition here expressing possession.

[19:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “the men,” referring to the angels inside Lot’s house. The word “inside” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[19:10]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text adds “their hand.” These words have not been translated for stylistic reasons.

[19:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “to them into the house.”

[14:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “Lot the son of his brother.”

[14:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “and.”

[14:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Lot) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:12]  ⁹ tn This disjunctive clause is circumstantial/causal, explaining that Lot was captured because he was living in Sodom at the time.

[19:29]  ⁷ tn The construction is a temporal clause comprised of the temporal indicator, an infinitive construct with a preposition, and the subjective genitive.

[19:29]  ⁸ tn Or “of the plain”; Heb “of the circle,” referring to the “circle” or oval area of the Jordan Valley.

[19:29]  ⁹ tn Heb “remembered,” but this means more than mental recollection here. Abraham’s request (Gen 18:23-32) was that the Lord not destroy the righteous with the wicked. While the requisite minimum number of righteous people (ten, v. 32) needed for God to spare the cities was not found, God nevertheless rescued the righteous before destroying the wicked.

[19:29]  ¹⁰ sn God’s removal of Lot before the judgment is paradigmatic. He typically delivers the godly before destroying their world.

[19:29]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the overthrow when [he] overthrew.”

[13:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “Lot traveled.” The proper name has not been repeated in the translation at this point for stylistic reasons.

[13:11]  ⁹ tn Heb “a man from upon his brother.”

[13:12]  ⁹ tn Or “the cities of the plain”; Heb “[the cities of] the circle,” referring to the “circle” or oval area of the Jordan Valley.
