Genesis
19:20
Behold now, this city is near to
flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a
little one?) and my soul shall live.
a. NLT: See, there
is a small village nearby. Please let me go there instead; don’t you see how
small it is? Then my life will be saved.”
b. NIV: Look, here
is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very
small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.”
c. YLT: lo, I pray
thee, this city is near to flee thither, and it is little;
let me escape, I pray thee, thither, (is it not little?) and my soul doth
live.'
d. Amplified Bible: See
now yonder city; it is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh, let
me escape to it! Is it not a little one? And my life will be saved!
e. Septuagint: Behold this
city is near for me to escape thither, which is a small one, and there shall I
be preserved, is it not little? and my soul shall live because of thee.
f. Stone Edition Chumash: Behold,
please, this city is near enough to escape there and it is small; I shall flee
there. Is it not small? And I will live.”
