Genesis 19:16

וַ יִּתְמַהְמָהּ וַ יַּחֲזִקוּ הָ אֲנָשִׁים בְּ יָדֹו וּ בְ יַד אִשְׁתֹּו וּ בְ יַד שְׁתֵּי בְנֹתָיו בְּ חֶמְלַת יְהוָה עָלָיו וַ יֹּצִאֻהוּ וַ יַּנִּחֻהוּ מִ חוּץ לָ עִיר
And he is delaying, and the Mortal-men are strengthening in his hand, and in the hand of his woman, and in the hand of his two built-ones, in the spared-one673 of Yahweh upon him, and they are causing him to go out, and causing him to rest from outside to the City.674

We saw Yahweh-elohim do the same with Adam in Genesis 2:15, “And Yahweh elohim is taking the Adam and is causing him to rest in the enclosure of Eden”. Recall the enigmatic nature of the Woman and the Two Built-ones as revealed in Ezekiel 16. The older sister Samaria (north/left) and the younger sister Sodom (south/right) are later designated as Jerusalem’s “built-ones”:

And you have remembered אֶת-your roads and have been Humbled in your taking אֶת-your Great sisters from thee toward the Young from thee, and I have given אֶת-them to thee to built-ones—but not from your covenant.” Ezekiel 16:61 literal

Builder of adam, two women, built-ones of one mother they have been…” Ezekiel 23:2 literal
