Genesis 19:8
Behold, now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please let me bring them out to you and do to them as you see fit; only do not do a thing to these men, because on account of this they came into the shade of my roof.
Behold, I have two daughters who have not known any man. Let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please. Only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.”
But I have two daughters, who have not known a man. I will bring them out to you, and do ye use them as it may please you, only do not injury to these men, to avoid which they came under the shelter of my roof.

| 665 | Hebrew לָֽאֲנָשִׁ֤ים הָאֵל֙. The Hebrew these + a definite article means the These. There are 9 occurances of this construct. Why does the text have seemingly unnecessary words? “At that time, he will answer them saying Amen I am saying to you as much as you have not made one of these ones the little, neither myself did you make.” Matthew 25:45 literal |
| 666 | Strong’s #6982, qorah. Beam, rafter, or meeting-one. From #7136, qarah, to meet, encounter. Lot is an allegory of the Crucified Jesus? The “shadow of the beam” translates into the “shadow of the cross” which further translates into the “shadow of Death” (Luk. 1:79, Job 34:22, Am 5:8, Jer. 2:6, Ps. 107:10, etc.). This is the idea behind the riddle of the sick [Mortal-men] being overshadowed “enveloped” by Peter’s shadow at his coming and being healed, as in, able to stand up, “So that even into the broad-ways to bring forth the sick, and to put upon couches and mats, that at the coming of Peter, even the shadow might envelop [#G1982] some one of them” Acts 5:15 literal Recall from our note on Genesis 11:27 that Lot’s name means envelop. |
