NET Notes

¹tn The second person pronominal suffixes are singular in this verse (note “your eyes,” “you have made great,” and “you have acted”). Verse 18a seems to indicate that Lot is addressing the angels, but the use of the singular and the appearance of the divine title “Lord” (אֲדֹנָי, ’adonay) in v. 18b suggests he is speaking to God.

²tn Heb “in your eyes.”

³tn Heb “you made great your kindness.”

⁴sn The Hebrew word חֶסֶד (khesed) can refer to “faithful love” or to “kindness,” depending on the context. The precise nuance here is uncertain.

⁵tn The infinitive construct explains how God has shown Lot kindness.

⁶tn Heb “lest.”

⁷tn The Hebrew verb דָּבַק (davaq) normally means “to stick to, to cleave, to join.” Lot is afraid he cannot outrun the coming calamity.

⁸tn The perfect verb form with vav consecutive carries the nuance of the imperfect verbal form before it.
