Consider what is the best way to refer to Lot at this point in the paragraph in your language. Alternate translation: “But Lot did not leave immediately,” or “Lot delayed,”
וַיַּחֲזִ֨קוּ הָאֲנָשִׁ֜ים בְּיָד֣וֹ וּבְיַד־אִשְׁתּ֗וֹ וּבְיַד֙ שְׁתֵּ֣י בְנֹתָ֔יו
and,seized the,men in=his/its=hand and,in/on/at/with,hand his/its=wife/woman and,in/on/at/with,hands two(fd) daughters,his
Alternate translation: “so the two men took hold of his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters,” or “so they took him and his wife and two daughters by the hand,”

For some languages it may be better to put this phrase last in verse 16 so that it does not interrupt the flow of the sentence. Or it may be better to put this phrase earlier in the sentence and say, “Lot hesitated, but Yahweh was being merciful/kind to him, so the two men/angels took hold of Lot’s hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and took/led them out of the city.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “because Yahweh was being kind to him”
וַיֹּצִאֻ֥הוּ וַיַּנִּחֻ֖הוּ

Alternate translation: “and led him safely”
19:1-38 The Canaanites were an evil, corrupting people. God judged their morally bankrupt civilization and warned others against becoming like them. It was difficult to get Lot and his family out of Sodom; it was more difficult to get Sodom out of Lot and his family. This chapter helped later Israelites to understand the moral and spiritual threat of the peoples living in and around the Promised Land, such as the Canaanites and Lot’s descendants, the Moabites and the Ammonites (see Num 22–25; Deut 23:3-6; Josh 24:9; Judg 10:7-9; 11:4-5; 1 Sam 10:27; 1 Kgs 11:1-3; 2 Kgs 24:2).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
