Genesis 19:2-15

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; 1and he prepared a feast for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 4Before they lay down, 2the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people 3from every quarter; 5and they called to Lot and said to him, “4Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may 5have 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, 6I have two daughters who have not 7had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them 8whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the 9shelter of my roof.” 9But they said, “Stand aside.” Furthermore, they said, “This one came in 10as an alien, and already 11he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them.” So they pressed hard against 12Lot and came near to break the door. 10But 13the men reached out their 14hands and brought Lot into the house 15with them, and shut the door. 1116They 17struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the doorway.

12Then the two men said to Lot, “Whom else have you here? A son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place; 13for we are about to destroy this place, because 18their outcry has become so great before the Lord that 19the Lord has sent us to destroy it.” 14Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who 20were to marry his daughters, and said, “Up, 21get out of this place, for the Lord will destroy the city.” 22But he appeared to his sons-in-law 23to be jesting.

15When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the 24punishment of the city.”
