Exegesis
The pronominal suffixes on achotekh {אֲחוֹתֵ֔ךְ | ʾă-ḥō-têḵ}, uvenoteha {וּבְנוֹתֶ֑יהָ | û-ḇə-nō-te-hā}, and uvenotayikh {וּבְנוֹתָֽיִךְ | û-ḇə-nō-tā-yîḵ} signal possession and relationship. Hebrew order places Sodom and her daughters before the comparative clause for emphasis; English shifts to a clearer subject–verb–object structure to convey the contrast.
