Genesis 19:8

19:8 Look, I have two daughters who have never had sexual relations with ¹  a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do to them whatever you please. ²  Only don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection ³  of my roof.” ⁴ 

Jude 1:24

Final Blessing

1:24 Now to the one who is able to keep you from falling, ⁵  and to cause you to stand, rejoicing, ⁶  without blemish ⁷  before his glorious presence, ⁸ 

[19:8]  ¹ tn Heb “who have not known.” Here this expression is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.

[19:8]  ² tn Heb “according to what is good in your eyes.”

[19:8]  ³ tn Heb “shadow.”

[19:8]  ⁴ sn This chapter portrays Lot as a hypocrite. He is well aware of the way the men live in his city and is apparently comfortable in the midst of it. But when confronted by the angels, he finally draws the line. But he is nevertheless willing to sacrifice his daughters’ virginity to protect his guests. His opposition to the crowds leads to his rejection as a foreigner by those with whom he had chosen to live. The one who attempted to rescue his visitors ends up having to be rescued by them.

[1:24]  ⁵ tn The construction in Greek is a double accusative object-complement. “You” is the object and “free from falling” is the adjectival complement.

[1:24]  ⁶ tn Grk “with rejoicing.” The prepositional clause is placed after “his glorious presence” in Greek, but most likely goes with “cause you to stand.”

[1:24]  ⁷ tn The construction in Greek is a double accusative object-complement. “You” is the object and “without blemish” is the adjectival complement.

[1:24]  ⁸ tn Or “in the presence of his glory,” “before his glory.”
