I want to connect my 2013 mac air to a tv using hdmi. I cannot figure out what I need to accomplish this. The computer has a lightening port (not a 2 or 3 just the original one). Thanks

Your MacBook Air does not have a Lightning port. It has what Apple calls a "Thunderbolt" port, but to avoid confusion look for a Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with audio support.
It may also be called a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter, but in any event what you need will resemble this one:
Apple refers to the later USB-C ports as "Thunderbolt 3". That won't work on your Mac.

Thunderbolt, Lightning, Thunderbolt 2, 3... it's no wonder people get confused.
