Exegesis
The prepositional li shtei banot {לִי שְׁתֵּי בָּנוֹת | lī šə-tê bā-nôṯ} places Lot’s two daughters in his care.
In context — Genesis 19:8
Behold, please, I have two daughters who have not known a man . Let me, please, bring them out to you, and you may do to them as is good in your eyes . Only, do not do anything to these men, because for this reason they have come under the shadow of my roof.
