Young's Literal Translation
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
two of
the messengers
come
towards
Sodom
at
even
, and Lot is
sitting at
the gate
of Sodom,
and
Lot seeth
, and
riseth
to meet them, and
boweth
himself
--
face
to
the
earth
,
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
saith
, `Lo,
I
pray
you,
my lords, turn aside ,
I
pray
you,
unto
the house of your servant ,
and
lodge,
and
wash your feet --
then ye
have
risen
early and gone
on your way ;'
and
they say
, `Nay,
but
in the broad
place
we
do
lodge
. '
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
.
And
he
presseth
on
them
greatly,
and
they turn
aside
unto
him ,
and
come
in
unto
his house ;
and
he maketh
for them a
banquet,
and hath
baked unleavened things;
and they do
eat
.
Before they had
gone
to
bed
, all
the men of the city of Sodom, both
young and
old
, surrounded
the house.
Before they lie
down
, the men of the city --
men
of Sodom --
have
come
round
about
against
the
house
, from
young even
unto
aged
, all
the people
from
the
extremity;
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
they call
unto
Lot and
say
to
him
, `
Where `
are '
the men who have
come
in
unto
thee
to -night
? bring
them out unto
us ,
and
we know
them .'
Lot went
outside
to
meet
them, shutting
the door behind him .
And
Lot goeth
out
unto
them, to
the opening,
and
the
door hath
shut
behind him ,
“Please
, my
brothers
, ”
he
pleaded
, “don’t
do such
a
wicked
thing!
and
saith
, `Do
not
, I
pray
you
, my
brethren,
do evil;
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. ”
lo
, I pray
you,
I
have two daughters ,
who have not
known
any
one;
let me ,
I
pray
you,
bring them out
unto
you, and do to them as `is'
good
in
your
eyes;
only
to these men do
not
anything
, for therefore
have they
come in
within
the shadow
of my roof. '
“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.
And they say
, `Come
nigh
hither;'
they
say
also,
`
This one hath
come
in
to
sojourn
, and he certainly
judgeth
! now ,
we do
evil
to
thee
more
than `to'
them ;'
and they press
against
the
man,
against
Lot greatly,
and come
nigh
to break the door.
But
the men inside
reached
out
, pulled
Lot into the house with
them
, and shut the door .
And
the men put
forth
their
hand
, and
bring
in
Lot unto
them,
into the house, and have
shut 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 who
`are'
at the opening
of
the
house
they
have
smitten
with blindness, from
small
even
unto
great,
and
they weary
themselves to find the opening
.
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
,
And
the men say
unto
Lot, `Whom
hast
thou
here still?
son-in-law, thy
sons also,
and
thy
daughters, and
all
whom
thou
hast
in the city, bring
out
from
this
place;
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. ”
for
we are destroying
this place ,
for their
cry
hath
been
great `before'
the
face
of
Jehovah,
and
Jehovah
doth
send
us to destroy it. '
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
Lot goeth
out ,
and speaketh
unto
his
sons-in-law ,
those
taking
his daughters, and
saith,
`Rise,
go
out from
this place, for Jehovah
is destroying
the city ;'
and
he
is
as
`one'
mocking
in
the
eyes
of
his sons-in-law.
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. ”
And
when
the dawn
hath
ascended,
then
the
messengers
press
upon
Lot, saying, `Rise,
take thy
wife ,
and thy
two daughters who are found
present
, lest
thou
be consumed
in the iniquity
of 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
he
lingereth
, and
the men lay
hold
on
his hand ,
and on
the hand
of his wife ,
and on
the
hand
of
his two daughters ,
through
the
mercy
of
Jehovah
unto
him,
and they bring
him
out, and
cause
him
to
rest
without
the city
.
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
it
cometh
to
pass
when
he
hath
brought them out without
, that
he
saith
, `Escape
for thy
life;
look not expectingly
behind
thee,
nor
stand
thou
in
all
the circuit;
to the mountain
escape
, lest
thou
be consumed.'
But
Lot replied
, “No
, my
lords
, please!
And
Lot saith
unto
them
, `Not
`so'
, I
pray
thee
, my
lord;
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.
lo,
I
pray
thee,
thy
servant hath
found grace
in thine
eyes
, and thou
dost
make
great thy
kindness which
thou
hast
done
with
me
by saving
my life ,
and
I am
unable
to escape
to
the mountain,
lest
the evil
cleave
`to'
me, and I have
died;
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
. ”
lo
, I pray
thee,
this
city
`is'
near
to
flee thither
, and it `
is '
little;
let me escape,
I
pray
thee,
thither,
(
is it not little
? )
and
my soul
doth
live
. '
“Very
well,”
he answered
, “
I will
grant
this request
as
well
, and
will
not
demolish
the town
you
indicate.
And
he saith
unto
him
, `Lo,
I have
accepted
thy
face
also
for
this thing
, without
overthrowing
the city
`for'
which
thou
hast
spoken;
Hurry!
Run
there
quickly
, for I cannot
do anything until
you
reach
it.”
That
is
why
the town
was
called
Zoar.
haste
, escape
thither,
for I am
not
able
to
do anything till
thine
entering
thither;'
therefore
hath
he
calleth
the name
of
the
city
Zoar.
And
by
the time
the
sun had
risen
over
the land
, Lot had
reached
Zoar .
The sun hath
gone
out
on
the earth
, and
Lot hath
entered
into
Zoar ,
Then
the
LORD
rained
down
sulfur
and fire
on
Sodom and Gomorrah —
from the
LORD
out
of
the heavens .
and Jehovah
hath
rained
upon
Sodom and upon
Gomorrah brimstone
and
fire
from Jehovah,
from
the heavens ;
Thus
He destroyed
these cities and the entire
plain
, including
all the inhabitants of the cities and everything
that grew
on
the ground.
and
He overthroweth
these cities ,
and all
the circuit
, and
all the inhabitants of the cities ,
and that which
is
shooting
up
from
the ground.
But
Lot’s
wife looked
back
, and she became
a pillar of salt .
And
his
wife looketh
expectingly
from
behind
him
, and she is
--
a pillar of salt !
Early the next
morning, Abraham
got
up
and
returned
to
the place where he had
stood before the LORD.
And
Abraham
riseth
early in
the morning, unto
the place where he hath
stood `
before '
the face
of
Jehovah;
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
he looketh
on
the
face
of
Sodom and Gomorrah ,
and on
all the face
of
the
land of the circuit
, and seeth,
and
lo,
the smoke of
the land went
up
as
smoke of
the
furnace.
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
it
cometh
to
pass,
in
God's
destroying
the cities of the circuit
, that
God
remembereth
Abraham, and sendeth
Lot out of the midst
of
the overthrow
in
the
overthrowing
of
the
cities in
which
Lot
dwelt
.
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 Lot
goeth
up
out
of
Zoar ,
and dwelleth
in the mountain,
and
his
two
daughters
with
him,
for he hath
been
afraid of
dwelling
in Zoar ,
and
he
dwelleth
in a cave ,
he
and
his
two
daughters
.
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 .
And
the first-born
saith
unto
the younger, `
Our father `
is '
old, and a
man
there is not
in the earth
to come
in
unto
us, as `
is '
the way
of
all the earth ;
Come, let
us
get
our father drunk
with
wine so
we
can
sleep
with him and preserve his
line
. ”
come, we
cause
our father to
drink
wine ,
and
lie
with him ,
and preserve from
our
father
--
a
seed
. '
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
they cause
their father to
drink
wine on
that
night;
and the first-born
goeth
in ,
and lieth
with her father ,
and
he hath
not known
in
her
lying
down ,
or in
her
rising
up.
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
it
cometh
to
pass,
on
the morrow,
that
the first-born
saith
unto
the younger, `Lo
, I have
lain
yesterday-night
with my father :
we
cause
him to
drink
wine also
to-night,
and
go thou
in ,
lie
with him ,
and we preserve from
our father
--
a
seed
. '
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.
And
they cause
their father to
drink
wine on
that
night
also
, and the younger riseth
and lieth
with him ,
and
he hath
not known
in
her
lying
down ,
or in
her
rising
up.
Thus
both
of
Lot’s
daughters became
pregnant
by
their father .
And
the
two
daughters of
Lot
conceive
from
their father ,
The older
daughter
gave
birth
to
a son and named
him
Moab .
He is the
father of the
Moabites
of
today.
and
the first-born
beareth
a son ,
and calleth
his
name
Moab ;
he `
is '
father of Moab
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
.
as
to
the younger ,
she
also hath
born
a son, and calleth
his
name
Ben-Ammi :
he `
is '
father of the Beni-Ammon
unto
this
day
.
