translationNotes
- the whole plain of the Jordan - This refers to the general region of the Jordan River.
- was well watered - "had supplies of clean water"
- like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt - "like the garden of Yahweh or like the land of Egypt". These were two different places.
- garden - Use the same word for "garden" as you used in :en:bible🎶gen:02:07.
- This was before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah - This anticipates something that would happen later and is told about in :en:bible🎶gen:19:23. It is important here because it explains why Lot settled in a region that was later not fertile.
- the relatives - "the kinsmen" or "the families." This refers to Lot and Abram with their households.
