lot identifies the man named as Haran’s son, Abram’s companion, and the inhabitant rescued from the cities of the plain.

The attested form functions as a proper name for the man identified as Haran’s son and connected with Abram’s travels, separation, rescue, and later escape from the cities of the plain. Its use remains referential rather than showing distinct lexical senses.

Senses in use

  1. The named man in the Genesis narrative · dominant

    The supplied morphology consistently tags the form as a proper noun. In Genesis 11:27 the APB renders Haran as having fathered Lot; in Genesis 13:11 it renders Lot’s choice of the Jordan plain and his separation from Abram, while Genesis 19:29 places him among those sent out from the overthrow of the cities where he had lived.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the Genesis verses, the APB generally presents the form directly as “Lot” in family, travel, property, and rescue scenes. Its wording cannot establish more than the form’s referential use in each clause.
