Genesis 19:12-16

12And the menH376 saidH559 unto LotH3876, Hast thou hereH6311 any besides? son-in-law, and thy sonsH1121, and thy daughtersH1323, and whomsoever thou hast in the cityH5892, bringH3318 them out of the placeH4725: 13for we will destroyH7843 this placeH4725, because the cryH6818 of them is waxed greatH1431 before Jehovah; and Jehovah hath sentH7971 us to destroyH7843 it. 14And LotH3876 wentH3318 out, and spake unto his sons-in-law, who married his daughtersH1323, and saidH559, Up, get you out of this placeH4725; for Jehovah will destroyH7843 the cityH5892. But he seemed unto his sons-in-law as oneH2088 that mocked. 15And when the morning aroseH6965, then the angelsH4397 hastened LotH3876, sayingH559, AriseH6965, takeH3947 thy wifeH802, and thy twoH8147 daughtersH1323 that are here, lestH6435 thou be consumed in the iniquityH5771 of the cityH5892. 16But he lingered; and the menH376 laid holdH2388 upon his handH3027, and upon the handH3027 of his wifeH802, and upon the handH3027 of his twoH8147 daughtersH1323, Jehovah being merciful unto him: and they broughtH3318 him forthH3318, and set him without the cityH5892.
