Genesis 19:2-15
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; 1and he preparedH6213 a feastH4960 for them, and bakedH644 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, and they ateH398. 4BeforeH2962 they layH7901 downH7901, 2the menH376 of the cityH5892, the menH376 of SodomH5467, surroundedH5437 the houseH1004, bothH4480 youngH5288 and oldH2205, allH3605 the peopleH5971 3from every quarterH7097; 5and they calledH7121 to LotH3876 and saidH559 to him, “4WhereH346 are the menH376 whoH834 cameH935 to you tonightH3915? BringH3318 them out to us that we may 5haveH3045 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, 6I have twoH8147 daughtersH1323 whoH834 have not 7hadH3045 relationsH3045 with manH376; pleaseH4994 let me bringH3318 them out to you, and doH6213 to them 8whateverH2896H5869 you likeH2896H5869; onlyH7534 doH6213 nothingH408H1697 to theseH411 menH376, inasmuchH3588H5921H3651 as they have comeH935 under the 9shelterH6738 of my roofH6982.” 9But they saidH559, “StandH5066 asideH1973.” Furthermore, they saidH559, “This oneH259 cameH935 in 10as an alienH1481, and alreadyH8199 11he is actingH8199 like a judgeH8199; nowH6258 we will treatH7489 you worseH7489 thanH4480 them.” So they pressedH6484 hardH3966 against 12LotH3876 and cameH5066 nearH5066 to breakH7665 the doorH1817. 10But 13the menH376 reachedH7971 out their 14handsH3027 and broughtH935 LotH3876 into the houseH1004 15with them, and shutH5462 the doorH1817. 1116They 17struckH5221 the menH376 whoH834 were at the doorwayH6607 of the houseH1004 with blindnessH5575, bothH4480 smallH6996 and greatH1419, so that they weariedH3811 themselves trying to findH4672 the doorwayH6607.
12Then the two menH376 saidH559 to LotH3876, “WhomH4310 elseH5750 have you hereH6311? A son-in-lawH2860, and your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, and whomeverH3605H834 you have in the cityH5892, bringH3318 them out of the placeH4725; 13for we are about to destroyH7843 thisH2088 placeH4725, becauseH3588 18their outcryH6818 has becomeH1431 soH3588 greatH1431 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 that 19the LordH3068 has sentH7971 us to destroyH7843 it.” 14LotH3876 wentH3318 out and spokeH1696 to his sons-in-lawH2860, who 20were to marryH3947 his daughtersH1323, and saidH559, “Up, 21getH3318 out of thisH2088 placeH4725, for the LordH3068 will destroyH7843 the cityH5892.” 22But he appearedH1961H5869 to his sons-in-lawH2860 23to be jestingH6711.
15WhenH3644 morningH7837 dawnedH5927, the angelsH4397 urgedH213 LotH3876, sayingH559, “Up, takeH3947 your wifeH802 and your twoH8147 daughtersH1323 who are hereH4672, orH6435 you will be sweptH5595 awayH5595 in the 24punishmentH5771 of the cityH5892.”
