And
the two angels came
to
Sodom
at even;
and Lot sat
in the gate
of Sodom:
and
Lot saw them, and
rose
up to meet them ;
and
he
bowed himself
with
his
face
to
the
earth;
Now
the two angels arrived
at Sodom
in
the
evening,
and Lot was
sitting
in the gateway
of the
city.
When
Lot saw them, he
got
up to meet them ,
bowed facedown,
and he
said, Behold
now,
my lords, turn aside ,
I
pray
you,
into your
servant's
house ,
and
tarry
all
night,
and
wash your feet ,
and ye
shall
rise up
early ,
and go on your way. And
they said
, Nay;
but
we will abide
in
the street
all
night.
and said, “
My lords, please
turn aside into the
house of
your
servant;
wash your feet and spend
the
night.
Then
you
can
rise early and go on your way. ”
“No,”
they answered
, “
we will spend
the night in
the
square
. ”
And
he
urged
them
greatly;
and
they turned
in
unto
him ,
and
entered
into his house ;
and
he made
them
a feast ,
and did
bake
unleavened bread, and they did
eat
.
But
Lot
insisted
so
strongly
that
they followed
him into his house .
He prepared
a feast for
them
and baked
unleavened bread, and they ate
.
But
before they lay
down
, the men of the city ,
`even'
the
men
of Sodom, compassed
the
house
round,
both young and old, all
the people
from
every
quarter;
Before they had
gone
to
bed
, all
the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded
the house.
and
they called unto
Lot, and
said
unto
him
, Where are the men that
came in
to thee
this
night
? bring
them out unto
us ,
that
we may
know
them .
They called out
to
Lot, saying
, “
Where are the men who
came to you
tonight
? Send
them out to
us so
we can
have
relations
with
them !”
And
Lot went out
unto
them
to the
door
, and
shut
the door after
him.
Lot went outside
to meet
them
, shutting
the door behind
him.
And
he
said,
I
pray
you
, my brethren
, do not
so
wickedly.
“Please
, my brothers
, ”
he
pleaded,
“don’t
do such
a
wicked
thing!
Behold
now
, I have two daughters that
have not
known
man ;
let me ,
I
pray
you,
bring them out
unto
you, and do ye
to them as is
good
in
your
eyes:
only
unto
these men do
nothing
, forasmuch
as
they are
come under the shadow
of my roof.
Look
, I have two daughters who
have never
slept
with
a
man .
Let me bring them to
you, and you
can
do to them as you
please.
But
do
not
do
anything
to
these men, for
they have
come under the protection
of my roof. ”
And
they said,
Stand
back
. And they said
, This one fellow
came in
to
sojourn
, and he will
needs
be
a judge :
now will
we deal
worse with
thee,
than with
them. And they pressed sore
upon
the
man,
even
Lot ,
and drew
near
to break the door.
“Get
out
of
the
way!”
they replied
. And they declared
, “
This one came here
as
a
foreigner
, and he is
already
acting
like
a judge !
Now we will
treat
you
worse than them. ”
And they pressed in
on
Lot and moved
in
to break down
the door.
But the men put
forth
their
hand
, and
brought
Lot into the house to
them, and shut to
the door.
But the men inside
reached
out
, pulled
Lot into the house with
them, and shut the door.
And they smote
the men that
were
at the door
of
the
house
with
blindness
, both
small
and great
, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
And they struck
the men at the entrance
, young
and old
, with
blindness,
so that they wearied themselves trying
to find the door.
And
the men said unto
Lot, Hast
thou
here any
besides?
son-in-law, and
thy
sons ,
and
thy
daughters, and
whomsoever
thou
hast
in the city ,
bring
them out of the
place:
Then
the two
men said to
Lot, “Do
you
have
anyone
else
here —a
son-in-law, your
sons or
daughters, or
anyone
else
in the city who
belongs
to
you?
Get
them out of here,
for
we will
destroy this place ,
because
the cry
of
them
is waxed
great before
Jehovah:
and
Jehovah
hath
sent us to destroy it.
because
we are
about
to
destroy this place .
For
the outcry
to
the
LORD
against
its
people
is so
great that
He
has
sent us to destroy it. ”
And
Lot went out ,
and spake
unto
his
sons-in-law ,
who married
his daughters ,
and
said,
Up, get you
out of this place ;
for Jehovah
will
destroy the city .
But he
seemed
unto
his sons-in-law as
one
that
mocked
.
So
Lot went out and spoke
to
the
sons-in-law who were
pledged
in
marriage
to
his daughters .
“Get
up, ”
he
said.
“
Get out of this place ,
for the
LORD
is
about
to
destroy the city !”
But his sons-in-law thought
he
was
joking
.
And
when
the
morning
arose,
then
the angels hastened
Lot, saying, Arise,
take thy
wife ,
and thy
two daughters that
are here, lest
thou
be consumed
in the iniquity
of the city.
At
daybreak
the angels hurried
Lot along
, saying, “Get
up!
Take your
wife and your
two daughters who
are here, or
you
will
be swept
away
in the punishment
of the city. ”
But he
lingered;
and
the men laid
hold
upon
his hand ,
and upon
the hand
of his wife ,
and upon
the
hand
of
his two daughters ,
Jehovah
being
merciful
unto
him;
and they brought
him
forth,
and
set
him
without
the city.
But when
Lot
hesitated,
the men grabbed
his hand and the hands
of his wife and his two daughters .
And they led
them
safely
out
of
the city ,
because
of
the
LORD’s
compassion
for
them
.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
they
had brought them forth
abroad
, that
he
said, Escape
for thy
life;
look
not behind
thee
, neither
stay
thou
in
all
the Plain ;
escape
to the mountain
, lest
thou
be consumed.
As
soon
as
the
men
had brought them out
, one
of
them
said, “Run
for your
lives!
Do
not look
back
, and
do
not
stop
anywhere
on
the plain !
Flee
to the mountains
, or
you
will
be swept
away!”
And
Lot said
unto
them,
Oh
, not
so
, my lord:
But
Lot replied
, “No
, my lords,
please!
behold
now,
thy
servant hath
found favor in thy
sight, and thou
hast
magnified
thy
lovingkindness,
which
thou
hast
showed
unto
me in
saving
my life ;
and
I cannot escape
to the mountain,
lest
evil
overtake me, and I die :
Your
servant has
indeed
found favor in your
sight, and you
have
shown
me great
kindness
by
sparing
my life .
But
I cannot run
to the mountains;
the
disaster
will
overtake me, and I will
die .
behold
now
, this
city
is near
to
flee unto
, and it is a little
one
. Oh
let me escape
thither
(
is it not a little
one
? ),
and
my soul
shall
live
.
Look
, there
is a
town
nearby
where
I
can
flee, and it is a small
place
. Please
let me flee
there—
is it not a small
place
? Then
my life
will
be
saved
. ”
And
he
said
unto
him
, See
, I have
accepted
thee
concerning
this thing
also
, that
I
will not overthrow
the city
of
which
thou
hast
spoken
.
“Very
well
, ”
he
answered
, “
I will
grant
this request
as
well
, and
will not demolish
the town
you
indicate
.
Haste
thee
, escape
thither;
for I cannot do anything till
thou
be
come
thither
. Therefore
the
name
of
the city
was called Zoar.
Hurry!
Run
there
quickly
, for I cannot do anything until
you
reach
it
. ”
That
is
why
the town
was called Zoar.
The sun was
risen upon
the earth
when
Lot came
unto
Zoar.
And
by
the time
the
sun had
risen over
the land,
Lot had
reached
Zoar.
Then Jehovah
rained upon
Sodom and upon
Gomorrah brimstone
and
fire
from Jehovah
out of heaven;
Then the
LORD
rained down
sulfur
and
fire
on
Sodom and Gomorrah —
from the
LORD
out of the
heavens.
and
he overthrew
those
cities ,
and all
the Plain, and
all the inhabitants of the cities ,
and that which
grew upon
the ground.
Thus
He destroyed
these
cities and the entire
plain, including
all the inhabitants of the cities and everything
that grew on
the ground.
But his
wife looked back from
behind
him
, and she became a pillar of salt.
But Lot’s
wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
And
Abraham
gat
up
early in
the morning to the place where he had stood before Jehovah:
Early the next
morning ,
Abraham
got
up
and
returned
to the place where he had stood before the
LORD.
and
he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah ,
and toward
all the land of the Plain, and beheld,
and,
lo,
the smoke of
the land went
up
as
the
smoke of
a furnace.
He looked down
toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land of the plain, and he
saw
the smoke rising
from
the land like
smoke from
a furnace.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, that
God
remembered Abraham, and sent
Lot out of the midst
of
the
overthrow,
when
he
overthrew
the cities in
which
Lot
dwelt
.
So
when God destroyed the cities of the plain, He
remembered Abraham, and He
brought
Lot out of the catastrophe
that
destroyed
the cities where
he
had
lived
.
And
Lot went
up
out
of
Zoar,
and dwelt
in
the
mountain,
and
his two daughters with
him;
for he feared
to dwell
in Zoar :
and
he
dwelt
in a cave ,
he
and
his
two
daughters
.
Lot and his two daughters left
Zoar
and
settled
in
the
mountains—
for he was
afraid
to stay
in Zoar —where
they
lived
in a cave.
And
the first-born
said unto
the younger, Our father is old, and there is not
a
man in the earth
to come
in
unto
us after
the manner
of
all the earth :
One
day
the older
daughter
said to
the younger, “
Our father is old, and there is no
man in the land
to sleep
with
us ,
as
is
the custom
over
all the earth .
come, let us make
our father drink
wine ,
and
we will
lie
with him ,
that
we
may
preserve seed
of
our
father
.
Come, let us get
our father drunk
with
wine so
we can
sleep
with him and
preserve his
line
. ”
And
they made
their father drink
wine that
night:
and the first-born
went in ,
and lay
with her father; and
he knew
not when she lay down ,
nor
when she arose
.
So
that
night
they got
their father drunk
with
wine ,
and the firstborn
went in and slept
with her father; he was
not aware
when she lay down or
when she got
up
.
And
it
came
to
pass
on
the morrow,
that
the first-born
said unto
the younger, Behold
, I lay
yesternight
with my father :
let us make
him drink
wine this
night
also;
and
go thou
in ,
and lie
with him ,
that
we may
preserve seed
of
our father
.
The next
day
the older
daughter
said to
the younger, “Look
, I slept
with my father last
night.
Let us get
him drunk
with
wine again
tonight
so
you
can
go in and sleep
with him and
we can
preserve our father’s
line
. ”
And
they made
their father drink
wine that
night
also:
and the younger arose,
and lay
with him; and
he knew
not when she lay down ,
nor
when she arose
.
So
again
that
night
they got
their father drunk
with
wine ,
and the younger daughter
went
in
and slept
with him; he was
not aware
when she lay down or
when she got
up
.
Thus were
both the
daughters
of Lot
with
child
by their father.
Thus both of Lot’s
daughters
became
pregnant
by their father.
And
the first-born
bare
a son ,
and called
his
name
Moab :
the
same
is the father of the Moabites unto
this
day
.
The older
daughter
gave
birth
to
a son and named
him
Moab .
He
is the father of the Moabites of
today
.
And
the younger ,
she
also bare
a son, and called
his
name
Ben-ammi :
the
same
is the father of the children
of Ammon
unto
this
day
.
The younger daughter
also gave
birth
to
a son, and she
named
him
Ben-ammi .
He
is the father of the Ammonites
of today
.
