Genesis 19:17

19:17 When they had brought them outside, they ⁵  said, “Run ⁶  for your lives! Don’t look ⁷  behind you or stop anywhere in the valley! ⁸  Escape to the mountains or you will be destroyed!”

Acts 27:31

27:31 Paul said to the centurion ⁹  and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you ¹⁰  cannot be saved.”

¹ tn The words “if a decision is not made” are added for clarification.

² tn Heb “lies down with his fathers.”

³ tn Heb “I and my son Solomon.” The order has been reversed in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁴ tn Heb “will be guilty”; NASB “considered offenders”; TEV “treated as traitors.”

⁵ tn Or “one of them”; Heb “he.” Several ancient versions (LXX, Vulgate, Syriac) read the plural “they.” See also the note on “your” in v. 19.

⁶ tn Heb “escape.”

⁷ tn The Hebrew verb translated “look” signifies an intense gaze, not a passing glance. This same verb is used later in v. 26 to describe Lot’s wife’s self-destructive look back at the city.

⁸ tn Or “in the plain”; Heb “in the circle,” referring to the “circle” or oval area of the Jordan Valley.

⁹ sn See the note on the word centurion in 10:1.

¹⁰ sn The pronoun you is plural in Greek.
