Genesis 19:1-11
1Now the 1twoH8147 angelsH4397 cameH935 to SodomH5467 in the eveningH6153 as LotH3876 was sittingH3427 at the gateH8179 of SodomH5467. When 2LotH3876 sawH7200 them, he stoodH6965 upH6965 to meetH7122 them and 3bowedH2331 downH2331 with his faceH639 to the groundH776. 2And he saidH559, “NowH4994 beholdH2009, my lordsH136, pleaseH4994 turnH5493 asideH5493 into your servant’sH5650 houseH1004, and spendH3885 theH3885 nightH3885, and washH7364 your feetH7272; then you may riseH7925 earlyH7925 and goH1980 on your wayH1870.” They saidH559, “NoH3808, but we shall spendH3885 theH3885 nightH3885 in the publicH7339 squareH7339.” 3Yet he stronglyH3966 urgedH6484 them, 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 outH3318 to us that we may 8haveH3045 relationsH3045 with them.” 6But LotH3876 wentH3318 outH3318 to them at the doorwayH6607, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 behindH310 him, 7and saidH559, “PleaseH4994, my brothersH251, do not actH7489 wickedlyH7489. 8NowH4994 lookH2009, 9I have twoH8147 daughtersH1323 whoH834 have not 10hadH3045 relationsH3045 with any manH376; pleaseH4994 let me bringH3318 them outH3318 to you, and doH6213 to them 11whateverH2896H5869 you likeH2896H5869; onlyH7534 do not doH6213 anythingH1697 to theseH411 menH376, becauseH3588H5921H3651 they have comeH935 under the 12shelterH6738 of my roofH6982.” 9But they saidH559, “GetH5066 outH1973 ofH1973 theH1973 wayH1973!” They also saidH559, “This oneH259 cameH935 inH935 13as a foreignerH1481, and alreadyH8199 14he is actingH8199 likeH8199 aH8199 judgeH8199; nowH6258 we will treatH7489 you worseH7489 thanH4480 them!” So they pressedH6484 hardH3966 against 15LotH3876 and movedH5066 forwardH5066 to breakH7665 the doorH1817. 10But 16the menH376 reachedH7971 outH7971 their 17handsH3027 and broughtH935 LotH3876 into the houseH1004 18with them, and shutH5462 the doorH1817. 11Then 19they struckH5221 the menH376 whoH834 were at the doorwayH6607 of the houseH1004 with blindnessH5575, fromH4480 the smallH6996 to the greatH1419, so that they becameH3811 wearyH3811 of trying to findH4672 the doorwayH6607.
