Context of Genesis 19:10

8Look, I have two daughters who haven’t been intimate with a man. Please let me bring them out to you—do to them whatever is good in your eyes! However, do nothing to these men—since they have come under the protection of my roof.” 9“Get out of the way!” they said, and they said, “This one came as an outsider and dares to judge! Now we’ll treat you worse than them!” So they strongly pressed against the man, Lot, and moved in close to break the door down. But the men reached out their hands, brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. 11Then they struck the men at the doorway of the house with blindness—from youth to elderly—so that they gave up trying to find the doorway. 12Then the men said to Lot, “Who else related to you is still here? A son-in-law, your sons and your daughters, whoever else is related to you in the city—bring them out of the place!
