Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּאמַ֑ר
and,said
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Then he said to them,” or “and he pleaded with them,”
Note 2 topic: writing-politeness
נָ֥א אַחַ֖י
now brothers,my
The phrase my brothers is used here as a polite address that implies a close relationship. Lot uses this idiom to try to get the men of Sodom to not harm his guests. The men were not his actual brothers. For some languages it is more natural to put my brothers (or “my friends”) first in this quote. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “No, please, my friends,” or “I beg you, my brothers” or “No, my brothers please”
אַל & תָּרֵֽעוּ
not & act_~_wickedly
Alternate translation: “do not do this evil!” or “do not do such an wicked thing!”
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 Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
