Exegesis
עַתָּה (attah {עַתָּה | ʿattāh}) “now” introduces the threat clause נָרַע לְךָ מֵהֶם (nara lekha mehem {נָרַע לְךָ מֵהֶם | nā-raʿ lə-khā mē-hem}) promising comparative harm.
In context — Genesis 19:9
But they said, “Move aside !” And they said, “This one came here to sojourn , and now he will surely judge! Now we will harm you more than them.” They pressed hard against the man—against Lot—and drew near to break the door.
