‏ Genesis 18:16

16 When the men got up to leave, ^{▼▼tn Heb “And the men arose from there.”} they looked out over ^{▼▼tn Heb “toward the face of.”} Sodom. (Now ^{▼▼tn The disjunctive parenthetical clause sets the stage for the following speech.} Abraham was walking with them to see them on their way.) ^{▼▼tn The Piel of שָׁלַח (shalakh) means “to lead out, to send out, to expel”; here it is used in the friendly sense of seeing the visitors on their way.}
