Genesis 19:1-8

1Now the 1two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When 2Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and 3bowed down with his face to the ground.

2And he said, “Now behold, my lords, please turn aside into your servant’s house, and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way.” They said however, “No, but we shall spend the night in the square.”

3Yet he urged them strongly, so they turned aside to him and entered his house; 4and he prepared a feast for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

4Before they lay down, 5the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people 6from every quarter;

5and they called to Lot and said to him, “7Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may 8have relations with them.”

6But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him,

7and said, “Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly.

8Now behold, 9I have two daughters who have not 10had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them 11whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the 12shelter of my roof.”
