Genesis 19:23

1 tn The disjunctive clause is temporal here, indicating what Lot was doing at the time of their arrival.

2 tn Heb “sitting in the gate of Sodom.” The phrase “the gate of Sodom” has been translated “the city’s gateway” for stylistic reasons.

sn The expression sitting in the city’s gateway may mean that Lot was exercising some type of judicial function (see the use of the idiom in 2 Samuel 19:8; Jeremiah 26:10; 38:7; 39:3).

Genesis 19:24

3 tn The imperatives have the force of invitation.

4 tn These two verbs form a verbal hendiadys: “you can rise up early and go” means “you can go early.”

5 sn The town square refers to the wide street area at the gate complex of the city.

Genesis 19:25

6 tn The Hebrew verb פָּצַר (patsar, “to press, to insist”) ironically foreshadows the hostile actions of the men of the city (see v. 9, where the verb also appears). The repetition of the word serves to contrast Lot to his world.
