Genesis 19:15

Context

19:15 At dawn 5  the angels hurried Lot along, saying, “Get going! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, 6  or else you will be destroyed when the city is judged!” 7 

1 tn Heb “drink wine.”

2 tn Heb “the firstborn.”

3 tn Heb “and the firstborn came and lied down with her father.” The expression “lied down with” here and in the following verses is a euphemism for sexual relations.

4 tn Heb “and he did not know when she lay down and when she arose.”

5 tn Heb “When dawn came up.”

6 tn Heb “who are found.” The wording might imply he had other daughters living in the city, but the text does not explicitly state this.

7 tn Or “with the iniquity [i.e., punishment] of the city” (cf. NASB, NRSV).
