Genesis 19:29

19:29 So when God destroyed ⁷  the cities of the region, ⁸  God honored ⁹  Abraham’s request. He removed Lot ¹⁰  from the midst of the destruction when he destroyed ¹¹  the cities Lot had lived in.

[9:15]  ³ tn Heb “which [is] between me and between you.”

[9:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “all flesh.”

[19:29]  ⁷ tn Heb “remembered,” but this means more than mental recollection here. Abraham’s request (Gen 18:23-32) was that the Lord not destroy the righteous with the wicked. While the requisite minimum number of righteous people (ten, v. 32) needed for God to spare the cities was not found, God nevertheless rescued the righteous before destroying the wicked.

[19:29]  ⁸ sn God’s removal of Lot before the judgment is paradigmatic. He typically delivers the godly before destroying their world.

[19:29]  ⁹ tn Heb “the overthrow when [he] overthrew.”
