Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth,No original language tokens loaded.2and he said, “See now, my lords, please come into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way.”3He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.4But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.5They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them.”6Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself.7He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.8See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”9They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now we will deal worse with you than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot, and came near to break the door.10But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.11They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.12The men said to Lot, “Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:13for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown so great before the LORD that the LORD has sent us to destroy it.”14Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, “Get up! Get out of this place, for the LORD will destroy the city!”15When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.”16But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, the LORD being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.17It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, “Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!”18Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.19See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.20See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn’t it a little one?), and my soul will live.”21He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.22Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.23The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.24Then the LORD rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the LORD out of the sky.25He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.26But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.27Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.28He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.29When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.30Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.31The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.32Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”33They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.34It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”35They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.36Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.37The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.38The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.Previous chapterNext chapter
