Genesis 19:1-8

1Now the 1twoH8147 angelsH4397 cameH935 to SodomH5467 in the eveningH6153 as LotH3876 was sittingH3427 in the gateH8179 of SodomH5467. When 2LotH3876 sawH7200 them, he roseH6965 to meetH7122 them and 3bowedH7812 downH7812 with his faceH639 to the groundH776.

2And he saidH559, “NowH4994 beholdH2009, my lordsH136, pleaseH4994 turnH5493 asideH5493 into your servant’sH5650 houseH1004, and spendH3885 the nightH3885, and washH7364 your feetH7272; then you may riseH7925 earlyH7925 and goH1980 on your wayH1870.” They saidH559 however, “NoH3808, but we shall spendH3885 the nightH3885 in the squareH7339.”

3Yet he urgedH6484 them stronglyH3966, so they turnedH5493 asideH5493 to him and enteredH935 his houseH1004; 4and he preparedH6213 a feastH4960 for them, and bakedH644 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, and they ateH398.

4BeforeH2962 they layH7901 downH7901, 5the menH376 of the cityH5892, the menH376 of SodomH5467, surroundedH5437 the houseH1004, bothH4480 youngH5288 and oldH2205, allH3605 the peopleH5971 6from every quarterH7097;

5and they calledH7121 to LotH3876 and saidH559 to him, “7WhereH346 are the menH376 whoH834 cameH935 to you tonightH3915? BringH3318 them out to us that we may 8haveH3045 relationsH3045 with them.”

6But LotH3876 wentH3318 out to them at the doorwayH6607, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 behindH310 him,

7and saidH559, “PleaseH4994, my brothersH251, do not actH7489 wickedlyH7489.

8NowH4994 beholdH2009, 9I have twoH8147 daughtersH1323 whoH834 have not 10hadH3045 relationsH3045 with manH376; pleaseH4994 let me bringH3318 them out to you, and doH6213 to them 11whateverH2896H5869 you likeH2896H5869; onlyH7534 doH6213 nothingH408H1697 to theseH411 menH376, inasmuchH3588H5921H3651 as they have comeH935 under the 12shelterH6738 of my roofH6982.”
