# See now, my masters

The phrase "See now" indicates that what follows is a polite request for the hearer to pay attention. "Please listen carefully: my masters" See how you translated this phrase in [Genesis 12:11](../12/11.md).

# my masters

This was a term of respect Lot used for the angels.

# please turn aside into your servant's house

"Please come and stay in your servant's house"

# your servant's house

Lot refers to himself as their servant in order to show them respect. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-123person]])

# wash your feet

People liked to wash their feet after traveling.

# rise up early

"wake up early"

# we will spend the night

When the two angels said this, they were referring only to themselves, not to Lot. The two of them planned to spend the night in the square. Some languages would use the exclusive form of "we" here. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclusive]])

# town square

This is a public, outdoor place in the town.
