¹ tn Heb “the men,” referring to the angels inside Lot’s house. The word “visitors” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

² tn Heb “Yet who [is there] to you here?”

³ tn The words “Do you have” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁴ tn Heb “a son-in-law and your sons and your daughters and anyone who (is) to you in the city.”

⁵ tn Heb “the place.” The Hebrew article serves here as a demonstrative.

⁶ tn Heb “his faithfulness and his commitment.”

⁷ tn Heb “As for me – in the way the Lord led me.”

⁸ tn Here “house” is an adverbial accusative of termination.

⁹ tn Heb “brothers.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “my oath” (twice in this verse). From the Hebrew perspective the oath belonged to the person to whom it was sworn (Abraham), although in contemporary English an oath is typically viewed as belonging to the person who swears it (the servant).

¹¹ tn Heb “With whomever you find your gods, he will not live.”

¹² tn Heb “brothers.”

¹³ tn Heb “recognize for yourself what is with me and take for yourself.”

¹⁴ tn The disjunctive clause (introduced here by a vav [ו] conjunction) provides supplemental material that is important to the story. Since this material is parenthetical in nature, it has been placed in parentheses in the translation.

¹⁵ tn Heb “what did you find from all the goods of your house?”

¹⁶ tn Heb “your relatives.” The word “relatives” has not been repeated in the translation here for stylistic reasons.

¹⁷ tn Heb “that they may decide between us two.”

¹⁸ tn Heb “said.”

¹⁹ tn Heb “the one who said.”

²⁰ tn Heb “I will cause good” or “I will treat well [or “favorably”].” The idea includes more than prosperity, though that is its essential meaning. Here the form is subordinated to the preceding imperative and indicates purpose or result. Jacob is reminding God of his promise in the hope that God will honor his word.
