Genesis 19:24-38

24Then the LordH3068 1rainedH4305 on SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 brimstoneH1614 and fireH784 from the LordH3068 out of heavenH8064, 25and 2He overthrewH2015 thoseH411 citiesH5892, and allH3605 the 3valleyH3603, and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the citiesH5892, and whatH6780 grewH6780 on the groundH127. 26But his wifeH802, from behindH310 him, 4lookedH5027 back, and she becameH1961 a pillarH5333 of saltH4417.

27Now AbrahamH85 aroseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and went to 5the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 he had stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LordH3068; 28and he lookedH8259 downH8259 towardH5921H6440 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and towardH5921H6440 allH3605 the landH776 of the 6valleyH3603, and he sawH7200, and beholdH2009, 7the smokeH7008 of the landH776 ascendedH5927 like the smokeH7008 of a 8furnaceH3536.

29Thus it cameH1961 about, when GodH430 destroyedH7843 the citiesH5892 of the 9valleyH3603, that 10GodH430 rememberedH2142 AbrahamH85, and 11sentH7971 LotH3876 out of the midstH8432 of the overthrowH2018, when He overthrewH2015 the citiesH5892 in whichH834 LotH3876 livedH3427.

30LotH3876 wentH5927 up from ZoarH6820, and 1213stayedH3427 in the 14mountainsH2022, and his twoH8147 daughtersH1323 with him; for he was afraidH3372 to 15stayH3427 in ZoarH6820; and he 16stayedH3427 in a caveH4631, he and his twoH8147 daughtersH1323. 31Then the firstbornH1067 saidH559 to the youngerH6810, “Our fatherH1 is oldH2204, and thereH369 is not a manH376 17on earthH776 to 18comeH935 in to us after the mannerH1870 of the earthH776. 32ComeH1980, 19let us make our fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196, and let us lieH7901 with him that we may preserveH2421 20our familyH2233 throughH4480 our fatherH1.” 33So they made their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 that nightH3915, and the firstbornH1067 wentH935 in and layH7901 with her fatherH1; and he did not knowH3045 when she layH7901 downH7901 or when she aroseH6965. 34On the followingH4283 dayH4283, the firstbornH1067 saidH559 to the youngerH6810, “BeholdH2005, I layH7901 lastH570 nightH570 with my fatherH1; let us make him drinkH8248 wineH3196 tonightH3915 alsoH1571; then you goH935 in and lieH7901 with him, that we may preserveH2421 21our familyH2233 throughH4480 our fatherH1.” 35So they made their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 that nightH3915 alsoH1571, and the youngerH6810 aroseH6965 and layH7901 with him; and he did not knowH3045 when she layH7901 downH7901 or when she aroseH6965. 36Thus bothH8147 the daughtersH1323 of LotH3876 were with childH2029 by their fatherH1. 37The firstbornH1067 boreH3205 a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 22MoabH4124; he is the fatherH1 of the MoabitesH4124 to this dayH3117. 38As for the youngerH6810, she alsoH1571 boreH3205 a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 Ben-ammiH1151; he is the fatherH1 of the 23sonsH1121 of 24AmmonH5983 to this dayH3117.
