See how you translated destroyed in verses 13–14, 17. Alternate translation: [So it was that when God destroyed]

Consider again how you translated plain in Genesis 13:10–12; 19:17, 25, 28, 29. Alternate translation: [the cities on the plain] or [the cities in the plain]

Make sure your translation of this clause does not imply that God forgot Abraham. See how you translated God remembered in Genesis 8:1. Alternate translation: [he kept Abraham and his request in mind]

OET (OET-RV) So it was that when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Avraham and had Lot removed out of the middle of the destruction when he destroyed the cities that Lot had been living in.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
