Footnotes

  1. Genesis 19:25 tn Or “and all the plain”; Heb “and all the circle,” referring to the “circle” or oval area of the Jordan Valley.
  2. Genesis 19:25 tn Heb “and what sprouts of the ground.”
  3. Genesis 19:26 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Lot) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  4. Genesis 19:26 tn The Hebrew verb means “to look intently; to gaze” (see 15:5).sn Longingly. Lot’s wife apparently identified with the doomed city and thereby showed lack of respect for God’s provision of salvation. She, like her daughters later, had allowed her thinking to be influenced by the culture of Sodom.
  5. Genesis 19:27 tn The words “and went” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
