Genesis 19:4-9
4BeforeH2962 they layH7901 downH7901, 1the menH376 of the cityH5892--the menH376 of SodomH5467--surroundedH5437 the houseH1004, bothH4480 youngH5288 and oldH2205, allH3605 the peopleH5971 2from every quarterH7097;
5and they calledH7121 to LotH3876 and saidH559 to him, “3WhereH346 are the menH376 whoH834 cameH935 to you tonightH3915? BringH3318 them outH3318 to us that we may 4haveH3045 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, 5I have twoH8147 daughtersH1323 whoH834 have not 6hadH3045 relationsH3045 with any manH376; pleaseH4994 let me bringH3318 them outH3318 to you, and doH6213 to them 7whateverH2896H5869 you likeH2896H5869; onlyH7534 do not doH6213 anythingH1697 to theseH411 menH376, becauseH3588H5921H3651 they have comeH935 under the 8shelterH6738 of my roofH6982.”
9But they saidH559, “GetH5066 outH1973 ofH1973 theH1973 wayH1973!” They also saidH559, “This oneH259 cameH935 inH935 9as a foreignerH1481, and alreadyH8199 10he is actingH8199 likeH8199 aH8199 judgeH8199; nowH6258 we will treatH7489 you worseH7489 thanH4480 them!” So they pressedH6484 hardH3966 against 11LotH3876 and movedH5066 forwardH5066 to breakH7665 the doorH1817.
