Genesis 26:11

26:11 So Abimelech commanded all the people, “Whoever touches ¹  this man or his wife will surely be put to death.” ² 

Genesis 19:9

19:9 “Out of our way!” ³  they cried, and “This man came to live here as a foreigner, ⁴  and now he dares to judge us! ⁵  We’ll do more harm ⁶  to you than to them!” They kept ⁷  pressing in on Lot until they were close enough ⁸  to break down the door.

[26:11]  ¹ tn Heb “strikes.” Here the verb has the nuance “to harm in any way.” It would include assaulting the woman or killing the man.

[26:11]  ² tn The use of the infinitive absolute before the imperfect makes the construction emphatic.

[19:9]  ³ tn Heb “approach out there” which could be rendered “Get out of the way, stand back!”

[19:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “to live as a resident alien.”

[19:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he has judged, judging.” The infinitive absolute follows the finite verbal form for emphasis. This emphasis is reflected in the translation by the phrase “dares to judge.”

[19:9]  ⁶ tn The verb “to do wickedly” is repeated here (see v. 7). It appears that whatever “wickedness” the men of Sodom had intended to do to Lot’s visitors – probably nothing short of homosexual rape – they were now ready to inflict on Lot.

[19:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “and they pressed against the man, against Lot, exceedingly.”

[19:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “and they drew near.”
