Genesis 19:21 Douay-Rheims

And he said to him: Behold also in this, I have heard thy prayers, not to destroy the city for which thou hast spoken.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

גם לדבר הזה CONCERNING THIS THING ALSO — Not only will you be saved, but I will also save the whole city for Your sake. הפכי means I OVERTHROW, just as (48:5) “until I come (בואי) , and (16:13) “after I have seen (רואי)” and (Jeremiah 31:19) “whenever I speak (דברי) of him)”.

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
