Genesis 19:8

הִנֵּה נָא לִי שְׁתֵּי בָנֹות אֲשֶׁר לֹא יָדְעוּ אִישׁ אֹוצִיאָה נָּא אֶתְהֶן אֲלֵיכֶם וַ עֲשׂוּ לָהֶן כַּ טֹּוב בְּ עֵינֵיכֶם רַק לָ אֲנָשִׁים הָ אֵל אַל תַּעֲשׂוּ דָבָר כִּי עַל כֵּן בָּאוּ בְּ צֵל קֹרָתִי
Behold, now, to-myself two built-ones, who have not perceived a man, I am causing to go out, now, אֶת-them toward you all, and make you to-themselves according to the Good-one in your eyes,664 only to the Mortal-men of These ones665 do not make a word, for upon an upright they have come in the shadow of my beam.`666

Strong’s #6982, qorah. Beam, rafter, or meeting-one. From #7136, qarah, to meet, encounter. Lot is an allegory of the Crucified Jesus? The “shadow of the beam” translates into the “shadow of the cross” which further translates into the “shadow of Death” (Luk. 1:79, Job 34:22, Am 5:8, Jer. 2:6, Ps. 107:10, etc.). This is the idea behind the riddle of the sick [Mortal-men] being overshadowed “enveloped” by Peter’s shadow at his coming and being healed, as in, able to stand up,

So that even into the broad-ways to bring forth the sick, and to put upon couches and mats, that at the coming of Peter, even the shadow might envelop [#G1982] some one of them” Acts 5:15 literal

Recall from our note on Genesis 11:27 that Lot’s name means envelop.
