Genesis 19:24-38

24Then the LORDH3068 rainedH4305 upon SodomH5467 and upon GomorrahH6017 brimstoneH1614 and fireH784 from the LORDH3068 out of heavenH8064; 25And he overthrewH2015 thoseH411 citiesH5892, and all the plainH3603, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the citiesH5892, and that which grewH6780 upon the groundH127.

26But his wifeH802 looked backH5027 from behind himH310, and she became a pillarH5333 of saltH4417.

27And AbrahamH85 rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 to the placeH4725 where he stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: 28And he lookedH8259 towardH6440 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and towardH6440 all the landH776 of the plainH3603, and beheldH7200, and, lo, the smokeH7008 of the countryH776 went upH5927 as the smokeH7008 of a furnaceH3536. 29And it came to pass, when GodH430 destroyedH7843 the citiesH5892 of the plainH3603, that GodH430 rememberedH2142 AbrahamH85, and sentH7971 LotH3876 out of the midstH8432 of the overthrowH2018, when he overthrewH2015 the citiesH5892 in whichH2004 LotH3876 dweltH3427.

30And LotH3876 went upH5927 from ZoarH6820, and dweltH3427 in the mountainH2022, and his twoH8147 daughtersH1323 with him; for he fearedH3372 to dwellH3427 in ZoarH6820: and he dweltH3427 in a caveH4631, he and his twoH8147 daughtersH1323. 31And the firstbornH1067 saidH559 to the youngerH6810, Our fatherH1 is oldH2204, and there is not a manH376 on the earthH776 to come inH935 to us after the mannerH1870 of all the earthH776: 32ComeH3212, let us makeH8248 our fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196, and we will lieH7901 with him, that we may preserveH2421 seedH2233 of our fatherH1. 33And they madeH8248 their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 that nightH3915: and the firstbornH1067 went inH935, and layH7901 with her fatherH1; and he perceivedH3045 not when she lay downH7901, nor when she aroseH6965. 34And it came to pass on the next dayH4283, that the firstbornH1067 saidH559 to the youngerH6810, Behold, I layH7901 last nightH570 with my fatherH1: let us make him drinkH8248 wineH3196 this nightH3915 also; and go thou inH935, and lieH7901 with him, that we may preserveH2421 seedH2233 of our fatherH1. 35And they madeH8248 their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 thatH1931 nightH3915 also: and the youngerH6810 aroseH6965, and layH7901 with him; and he perceivedH3045 not when she lay downH7901, nor when she aroseH6965. 36Thus were bothH8147 the daughtersH1323 of LotH3876 with childH2029 by their fatherH1. 37And the firstbornH1067 boreH3205 a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 MoabH4124: the sameH1931 is the fatherH1 of the MoabitesH4124 to this dayH3117. 38And the youngerH6810, she also boreH3205 a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 BenammiH1151: the same is the fatherH1 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 to this dayH3117.
