Genesis 19:12-16

12Then the two menH376 saidH559 to LotH3876, “WhomH4310 elseH5750 do you have hereH6311? A son-in-lawH2860 and your sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323, and whomeverH3605H834 you have in the cityH5892, bringH3318 them outH3318 of the placeH4725; 13for we are about to destroyH7843 thisH2088 placeH4725, becauseH3588 1their outcryH6818 has becomeH1431 so greatH1431 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 that 2the LordH3068 has sentH7971 us to destroyH7843 it.” 14So LotH3876 wentH3318 outH3318 and spokeH1696 to his sons-in-lawH2860, who 3were to marryH3947 his daughtersH1323, and saidH559, “Up, 4getH3318 outH3318 of thisH2088 placeH4725, for the LordH3068 is destroyingH7843 the cityH5892.” 5But he appearedH1961H5869 to his sons-in-lawH2860 6to be jokingH6711.

15WhenH3644 morningH7837 dawnedH5927, the angelsH4397 urgedH213 LotH3876, sayingH559, “Up, takeH3947 your wifeH802 and your twoH8147 daughtersH1323 who areH4672 hereH4672, orH6435 you will be sweptH5595 awayH5595 in the 7punishmentH5771 of the cityH5892.” 16But he hesitatedH4102. So the menH376 8graspedH2388 his handH3027 and the handH3027 of his wifeH802 and the 9handsH3027 of his twoH8147 daughtersH1323, because 10the compassionH2551 of the LordH3068 was upon him; and they broughtH3318 him outH3318 and putH5117 him outsideH4480H2351 the cityH5892.
