Carl has been particularly kind in not correcting one of your errors. The KJV, NASB and the TANAK do not translate τοὺς εἰληφότας [TOUS EILHFOTAS] but the Hebrew on which which the Greek is based -- חֲתָנָיו [X:aTfNfYW], which is "his son-in-law". Most translations other than those (well, two, Brenton and NETS) which are specifically LXX translations are based on the Hebrew.

ἐξηλθεν δέ Λωτ και ἐλαλησεν πρὸς τοὺς γαμβροὺς αὐτου τοὺς εἰληφότας τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτου καὶ εἶπεν...
Question 1) In this passage there seems to be a difference of opinion between the KJV and NASB and Jewish Bible English as to the tense of τοὺς εἰληφότας this participle. Should it be 'who were married' or 'who will be married' or 'who had married'? My guess is perfect participle.
Question 2) the word εἰληφότας is not available in my dictionary. Does it mean married, wed or joined?
