Genesis 19:2-15

2And he saidH559, Behold now, my lordsH113, turn inH5493, I pray you, into your servant’sH5650 houseH1004, and tarry all nightH3885, and washH7364 your feetH7272, and ye shall rise up earlyH7925, and goH1980 on your waysH1870. And they saidH559, Nay; but we will abideH3885 in the streetH7339 all nightH3885. 3And he pressedH6484 upon them greatlyH3966; and they turned inH5493 unto him, and enteredH935 into his houseH1004; and he madeH6213 them a feastH4960, and did bakeH644 unleavened breadH4682, and they did eatH398.

4But before they lay downH7901, the menH582 of the cityH5892, even the menH582 of SodomH5467, compassedH5437 the houseH1004 roundH5437, both oldH2205 and youngH5288, all the peopleH5971 from every quarterH7097: 5And they calledH7121 unto LotH3876, and saidH559 unto him, Where are the menH582 which came inH935 to thee this nightH3915? bring them outH3318 unto us, that we may knowH3045 them. 6And LotH3876 went outH3318 at the doorH6607 unto them, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 after himH310, 7And saidH559, I pray you, brethrenH251, do not so wickedlyH7489. 8Behold now, I have twoH8147 daughtersH1323 which have not knownH3045 manH376; let me, I pray you, bring them outH3318 unto you, and doH6213 ye to them as is goodH2896 in your eyesH5869: only unto theseH411 menH582 doH6213 nothingH1697H408; for therefore cameH935 they under the shadowH6738 of my roofH6982. 9And they saidH559, StandH5066 backH1973. And they saidH559 again, This oneH259 fellow came inH935 to sojournH1481, and he will needsH8199 be a judgeH8199: now will we deal worseH7489 with thee, than with them. And they pressedH6484 soreH3966 upon the manH376, even LotH3876, and came nearH5066 to breakH7665 the doorH1817. 10But the menH582 put forthH7971 their handH3027, and pulledH935 LotH3876 into the houseH1004 to them, and shutH5462 to the doorH1817. 11And they smoteH5221 the menH582 that were at the doorH6607 of the houseH1004 with blindnessH5575, both smallH6996 and greatH1419: so that they weariedH3811 themselves to findH4672 the doorH6607.

12And the menH582 saidH559 unto LotH3876, Hast thou hereH6311 anyH4310 besides? son in lawH2860, and thy sonsH1121, and thy daughtersH1323, and whatsoeverH834 thou hast in the cityH5892, bring them outH3318 of this placeH4725: 13For weH587 will destroyH853H7843 this placeH4725, because the cry of themH6818 is waxen greatH1431 beforeH854 the faceH6440 of YhwhH3068; And YhwhH3068 hath sentH7971 us to destroyH7843 it. 14And LotH3876 went outH3318, and spakeH1696 unto his sons in lawH2860, which marriedH3947 his daughtersH1323, and saidH559, UpH6965, get you outH3318 of this placeH4725; for YhwhH3068 will destroyH7843 this cityH5892. But he seemed as one that mockedH6711 untoH5869 his sons in lawH2860.

15And whenH3644 the morningH7837 aroseH5927, then the angelsH4397 hastenedH213 LotH3876, sayingH559, AriseH6965, takeH3947 thy wifeH802, and thy twoH8147 daughtersH1323, which are hereH4672; lest thou be consumedH5595 in the iniquityH5771 of the cityH5892.12
