Genesis 18:24

18:24 What if there are fifty godly people in the city? Will you really wipe it out and not spare ¹  the place for the sake of the fifty godly people who are in it?

Genesis 35:7

35:7 He built an altar there and named the place El Bethel ²  because there God had revealed himself ³  to him when he was fleeing from his brother.

[18:24]  ¹ tn Heb “lift up,” perhaps in the sense of “bear with” (cf. NRSV “forgive”).

[35:7]  ² sn The name El-Bethel means “God of Bethel.”

[35:7]  ³ tn Heb “revealed themselves.” The verb נִגְלוּ (niglu), translated “revealed himself,” is plural, even though one expects the singular form with the plural of majesty. Perhaps אֱלֹהִים (’elohim) is here a numerical plural, referring both to God and the angelic beings that appeared to Jacob. See the note on the word “know” in Gen 3:5.
