Genesis 19:12-38

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. 17When they had broughtH3318 them outsideH2351, 11one saidH559, “12EscapeH4422 for your lifeH5315! 13Do not lookH5027 behindH310 you, and do not stayH5975 14anywhereH3605 in the 15surroundingH3603 areaH3603; escapeH4422 to 16the 17mountainsH2022, orH6435 you will be sweptH5595 awayH5595.” 18But LotH3876 saidH559 to them, “OhH4994 noH408, my lordsH136! 19NowH4994 beholdH2009, your servantH5650 has foundH4672 favorH2580 in your sightH5869, and you have magnifiedH1431 your compassionH2617, whichH834 you have shownH6213 me by savingH2421 my lifeH5315; but I cannotH3201H3808 escapeH4422 to the 18mountainsH2022, for the disasterH7463 will overtakeH1692 me and I will dieH4191; 20nowH4994 beholdH2009, thisH2088 townH5892 is nearH7138 enough to fleeH5127 to, and it is smallH4705. PleaseH4994, let me escapeH4422 thereH8033 (is it not smallH4705?) 19so that my lifeH5315 may be savedH2421.” 21And he saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009, I grantH5375 you thisH2088 20requestH1697 alsoH1571, not to overthrowH2015 the townH5892 of whichH834 you have spokenH1696. 22HurryH4116, escapeH4422 thereH8033, for I cannotH3201H3808 doH6213 anythingH1697 untilH5704 you arriveH935 thereH8033.” ThereforeH5921H3651 the townH5892 was namedH7121H8034 2122ZoarH6820.

23The sunH8121 had risenH3318 overH5921 the earthH776 when LotH3876 cameH935 to ZoarH6820. 24Then the LordH3068 23rainedH4305 brimstoneH1614 and fireH784 on SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 from the LordH3068 out of heavenH8064, 25and 24He overthrewH2015 thoseH411 citiesH5892, and allH3605 the surroundingH3603 areaH3603, and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the citiesH5892, and whatH6780 grewH6780 on the groundH127. 26But 25Lot’s wifeH802, from behindH310 him, 26lookedH5027 back, and she becameH1961 a pillarH5333 of saltH4417.

27Now AbrahamH85 gotH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and went to 27the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 he had stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LordH3068; 28and he lookedH8259 downH8259 towardH5921H6440 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and towardH5921H6440 allH3605 the landH776 of the surroundingH3603 areaH3603; and 28beholdH2009, he sawH7200 29the smokeH7008 of the landH776 ascendedH5927 like the smokeH7008 of a 30furnaceH3536.

29So it cameH1961 aboutH1961, when GodH430 destroyedH7843 the citiesH5892 of the surroundingH3603 areaH3603, that 31GodH430 rememberedH2142 AbrahamH85, and 32sentH7971 LotH3876 outH7971 of the midstH8432 of the destructionH2018, when He overthrewH2015 the citiesH5892 in whichH834 LotH3876 had livedH3427.

30Now LotH3876 wentH5927 upH5927 from ZoarH6820 with his twoH8147 daughtersH1323 and 33stayedH3427 in the 34mountainsH2022, becauseH3588 he wasH3372 afraidH3372 to stayH3427 in ZoarH6820; and he stayedH3427 in a caveH4631, he and his twoH8147 daughtersH1323. 31Then the firstbornH1067 saidH559 to the youngerH6810, “Our fatherH1 isH2204 oldH2204, and thereH369 isH369 notH369 a manH376 35on earthH776 to 3637haveH935 relationsH935 withH935 us according to the customH1870 of allH3605 the earthH776. 32ComeH1980, 38let’s makeH8248 our fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196, and let’s sleepH7901 with him so that we may keepH2421 39our familyH2233 aliveH2421 throughH4480 our fatherH1.” 33So they madeH8248 their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 that nightH3915, and the firstbornH1067 wentH935 inH935 and sleptH7901 with her fatherH1; and he did not knowH3045 when she layH7901 downH7901 or gotH6965 upH6965. 34On the followingH4283 dayH4283, the firstbornH1067 saidH559 to the youngerH6810, “LookH2005, I sleptH7901 lastH570 nightH570 with my fatherH1; let’s makeH8248 him drinkH8248 wineH3196 tonightH3915 tooH1571, then you goH935 inH935 and sleepH7901 with him, so that we may keepH2421 40our familyH2233 aliveH2421 throughH4480 our fatherH1.” 35So they hadH8248 their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 that nightH3915 tooH1571, and the youngerH6810 gotH6965 upH6965 and sleptH7901 with him; and he did not knowH3045 when she layH7901 downH7901 or gotH6965 upH6965. 36And so bothH8147 of the daughtersH1323 of LotH3876 conceivedH2029 by their fatherH1. 37The firstbornH1067 gaveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121, and namedH7121H8034 him 41MoabH4124; he is the fatherH1 of the MoabitesH4124 to this dayH3117. 38As for the youngerH6810, she alsoH1571 gaveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121, and namedH7121H8034 him Ben-ammiH1151; he is the fatherH1 of 42the sonsH1121 of 43AmmonH5983 to this dayH3117.
