19:1 The
two
angels
came
to
Sodom
in
the
evening,
and
Lot
was
sitting
in
the
gate
of
Sodom.
When
Lot
saw
them,
he
rose
to
meet
them
and
bowed
himself
with
his
face
to
the
earth
19:2 and
said,
"My
lords,
please
turn
aside
to
your
servant's
house
and
spend
the
night
and
wash
your
feet.
Then
you
may
rise
up
early
and
go
on
your
way."
They
said,
"No;
we
will
spend
the
night
in
the
town
square."
19:3 But
he
pressed
them
strongly;
so
they
turned
aside
to
him
and
entered
his
house.
And
he
made
them
a
feast
and
baked
unleavened
bread,
and
they
ate.
19:4 But
before
they
lay
down,
the
men
of
the
city,
the
men
of
Sodom,
both
young
and
old,
all
the
people
to
the
last
man,
surrounded
the
house.
19:5 And
they
called
to
Lot,
"Where
are
the
men
who
came
to
you
tonight
Bring
them
out
to
us,
that
we
may
know
them."
19:6 Lot
went
out
to
the
men
at
the
entrance,
shut
the
door
after
him,
19:7 and
said,
"I
beg
you,
my
brothers,
do
not
act
so
wickedly.
19:8 Behold,
I
have
two
daughters
who
have
not
known
any
man.
Let
me
bring
them
out
to
you,
and
do
to
them
as
you
please.
Only
do
nothing
to
these
men,
for
they
have
come
under
the
shelter
of
my
roof."
19:9 But
they
said,
"Stand
back!"
And
they
said,
"This
fellow
came
to
sojourn,
and
he
has
become
the
judge!
Now
we
will
deal
worse
with
you
than
with
them."
Then
they
pressed
hard
against
the
man
Lot,
and
drew
near
to
break
the
door
down.
19:10 But
the
men
reached
out
their
hands
and
brought
Lot
into
the
house
with
them
and
shut
the
door.
19:11 And
they
struck
with
blindness
the
men
who
were
at
the
entrance
of
the
house,
both
small
and
great,
so
that
they
wore
themselves
out
groping
for
the
door.
19:12 Then
the
men
said
to
Lot,
"Have
you
anyone
else
here
Sons-in-law,
sons,
daughters,
or
anyone
you
have
in
the
city,
bring
them
out
of
the
place.
19:13 For
we
are
about
to
destroy
this
place,
because
the
outcry
against
its
people
has
become
great
before
the
LORD,
and
the
LORD
has
sent
us
to
destroy
it."
19:14 So
Lot
went
out
and
said
to
his
sons-in-law,
who
were
to
marry
his
daughters,
"Up!
Get
out
of
this
place,
for
the
LORD
is
about
to
destroy
the
city."
But
he
seemed
to
his
sons-in-law
to
be
jesting.
19:15 As
morning
dawned,
the
angels
urged
Lot,
saying,
"Up!
Take
your
wife
and
your
two
daughters
who
are
here,
lest
you
be
swept
away
in
the
punishment
of
the
city."
19:16 But
he
lingered.
So
the
men
seized
him
and
his
wife
and
his
two
daughters
by
the
hand,
the
LORD
being
merciful
to
him,
and
they
brought
him
out
and
set
him
outside
the
city.
19:17 And
as
they
brought
them
out,
one
said,
"Escape
for
your
life.
Do
not
look
back
or
stop
anywhere
in
the
valley.
Escape
to
the
hills,
lest
you
be
swept
away."
19:18 And
Lot
said
to
them,
"Oh,
no,
my
lords.
19:19 Behold,
your
servant
has
found
favor
in
your
sight,
and
you
have
shown
me
great
kindness
in
saving
my
life.
But
I
cannot
escape
to
the
hills,
lest
the
disaster
overtake
me
and
I
die.
19:20 Behold,
this
city
is
near
enough
to
flee
to,
and
it
is
a
little
one.
Let
me
escape
there--is
it
not
a
little
one--and
my
life
will
be
saved!"
19:21 He
said
to
him,
"Behold,
I
grant
you
this
favor
also,
that
I
will
not
overthrow
the
city
of
which
you
have
spoken.
19:22 Escape
there
quickly,
for
I
can
do
nothing
till
you
arrive
there."
Therefore
the
name
of
the
city
was
called
Zoar.
19:23 The
sun
had
risen
on
the
earth
when
Lot
came
to
Zoar.
19:24 Then
the
LORD
rained
on
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
sulfur
and
fire
from
the
LORD
out
of
heaven.
19:25 And
he
overthrew
those
cities,
and
all
the
valley,
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
cities,
and
what
grew
on
the
ground.
19:26 But
Lot's
wife,
behind
him,
looked
back,
and
she
became
a
pillar
of
salt.
19:27 And
Abraham
went
early
in
the
morning
to
the
place
where
he
had
stood
before
the
LORD.
19:28 And
he
looked
down
toward
Sodom
and
Gomorrah
and
toward
all
the
land
of
the
valley,
and
he
looked
and,
behold,
the
smoke
of
the
land
went
up
like
the
smoke
of
a
furnace.
19:29 So
it
was
that,
when
God
destroyed
the
cities
of
the
valley,
God
remembered
Abraham
and
sent
Lot
out
of
the
midst
of
the
overthrow
when
he
overthrew
the
cities
in
which
Lot
had
lived.
19:30 Now
Lot
went
up
out
of
Zoar
and
lived
in
the
hills
with
his
two
daughters,
for
he
was
afraid
to
live
in
Zoar.
So
he
lived
in
a
cave
with
his
two
daughters.
19:31 And
the
firstborn
said
to
the
younger,
"Our
father
is
old,
and
there
is
not
a
man
on
earth
to
come
in
to
us
after
the
manner
of
all
the
earth.
19:32 Come,
let
us
make
our
father
drink
wine,
and
we
will
lie
with
him,
that
we
may
preserve
offspring
from
our
father."
19:33 So
they
made
their
father
drink
wine
that
night.
And
the
firstborn
went
in
and
lay
with
her
father.
He
did
not
know
when
she
lay
down
or
when
she
arose.
19:34 The
next
day,
the
firstborn
said
to
the
younger,
"Behold,
I
lay
last
night
with
my
father.
Let
us
make
him
drink
wine
tonight
also.
Then
you
go
in
and
lie
with
him,
that
we
may
preserve
offspring
from
our
father."
19:35 So
they
made
their
father
drink
wine
that
night
also.
And
the
younger
arose
and
lay
with
him,
and
he
did
not
know
when
she
lay
down
or
when
she
arose.
19:36 Thus
both
the
daughters
of
Lot
became
pregnant
by
their
father.
19:37 The
firstborn
bore
a
son
and
called
his
name
Moab.
He
is
the
father
of
the
Moabites
to
this
day.
19:38 The
younger
also
bore
a
son
and
called
his
name
Ben-ammi.
He
is
the
father
of
the
Ammonites
to
this
day.
