Genesis 19:1-8

1The two angels entered Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in Sodom’s gateway. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them. He bowed with his face to the ground

2and said, “My lords, turn aside to your servant’s house, wash your feet, and spend the night. Then you can get up early and go on your way.” “No,” they said. “We would rather spend the night in the square.”

3But he urged them so strongly that they followed him and went into his house. He prepared a feast and baked unleavened bread for them, and they ate.

4Before they went to bed, the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, the whole population, surrounded the house.

5They called out to Lot and said, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Send them out to us so we can have sex with them!”

6Lot went out to them at the entrance and shut the door behind him.

7He said, “Don’t do this evil, my brothers.

8Look, I’ve got two daughters who haven’t been intimate with a man. I’ll bring them out to you, and you can do whatever you want to them. However, don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the protection of my roof.”
