Genesis 19:1-8

1And the twoH8147 angelsH4397 cameH935 to SodomH5467 at even; and LotH3876 satH3427 in the gateH8179 of SodomH5467: and LotH3876 sawH7200 them, and roseH6965 up to meet them; and he bowedH7812 himself with his faceH639 to the earthH776;

2and he saidH559, Behold now, my lordsH113, turnH5493 asideH5493, I pray you, into your servant’sH5650 houseH1004, and tarry all night, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and ye shall riseH7925 up earlyH7925, and goH1980 on your wayH1870. And they saidH559, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.

3And he urged them greatly; and they turnedH5493 in unto him, and entered into his houseH1004; and he madeH6213 them a feastH4960, and did bakeH644 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, and they did eatH398.

4But before they layH7901 downH7901, the menH376 of the cityH5892, even the menH376 of SodomH5467, compassed the houseH1004 roundH5437, both youngH5288 and oldH2205, all the peopleH5971 from every quarter;

5and they calledH7121 unto LotH3876, and saidH559 unto him, WhereH834 are the menH376 that cameH935 in to thee this nightH3915? bringH935 them out unto us, that we may knowH3045 them.

6And LotH3876 wentH3318 out unto them to the doorH1817, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 after him.

7And he saidH559, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly.

8Behold now, I have twoH8147 daughtersH1323 that have not knownH3045 manH376; let me, I pray you, bringH935 them out unto you, and do ye to them as is goodH2896 in your eyesH5869: onlyH7535 unto these menH376 do nothing, forasmuch as they are comeH935 under the shadowH6738 of my roof.
