NET Notes

¹tn The Hebrew word עִיר (’ir) can refer to either a city or a town, depending on the size of the place. Given that this place was described by Lot later in this verse as a “little place,” the translation uses “town.”

²tn Heb “Look, this town is near to flee to there. And it is little.”

³tn Heb “Let me escape to there.” The cohortative here expresses Lot’s request.

⁴tn Heb “Is it not little?”

⁵tn Heb “my soul will live.” After the cohortative the jussive with vav conjunctive here indicates purpose/result.
