Footnotes

  1. Genesis 19:16 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Lot) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. Genesis 19:16 tn Heb “in the compassion of the Lord to them.”
  3. Genesis 19:16 tn Heb “brought him out and placed him.” The third masculine singular suffixes refer specifically to Lot, though his wife and daughters accompanied him (see v. 17). For stylistic reasons these have been translated as plural pronouns (“them”).
