Genesis 18 -- Notes
...

This post was created in September 2017.

19 July 2022 -- I've since abandoned this specific project, and am working on something a bit different. This page remains for anyone who might find it interesting.

This is part of my translation project. This is very much a rough draft for later elaboration.

Notes

Write more later on the alternation between singular and plural among the speakers, and on the alternation between “Sodom and Gomorrah” and the simpler “Sodom.”

\1. oaks. This word has been rendered a couple different ways.

\2. My Lord. Hebrew Adonai.

\10. when the season comes around. This expression has been taken a few different ways.

\18. will bless themselves by him. Note the alternate reading.
