Genesis 19:5-10
5and they called to Lot and said to him, “1Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may 2have 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, 3I have two daughters who have not 4had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them 5whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the 6shelter of my roof.”
9But they said, “Stand aside.” Furthermore, they said, “This one came in 7as an alien, and already 8he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them.” So they pressed hard against 9Lot and came near to break the door.
10But 10the men reached out their 11hands and brought Lot into the house 12with them, and shut the door.
