Genesis, Chapter 19

1 Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them anda Lit bowed himselfbowed down with his face to the ground. 2 And he said, “Now behold, my lords, please turn aside into your servant’s house, and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way.” They said however, “No, but we shall spend the night in the square.” 3 Yet he urged them strongly, so they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he prepared a feast for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 4 Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the peopleb Or without exception; lit from every endfrom every quarter; 5 and they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we mayc I.e. have intercoursehave relations with them.” 6 But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, 7 and said, “Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. 8 Now behold, I have two daughters who have notd I.e. had intercoursehad relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to theme Lit as is good in your sightwhatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under thef Lit shadowshelter of my roof.” 9 But they said, “Stand aside.” Furthermore, they said, “This one came ing Lit to sojournas an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them.” So they pressed hard againsth Lit the man, against LotLot and came near to break the door. 10 But the men reached out theiri Lit handhands and brought Lot into the housej Lit towith them, and shut the door. 11 Theyk Lit smotestruck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the doorway.
12 Then the two men said to Lot, “Whom else have you here? A son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place; 13 for we are about to destroy this place, because their outcry has become so great before the LORD that the LORD has sent us to destroy it.” 14 Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, whol Or had married; lit were takingwere to marry his daughters, and said, “Up, get out of this place, for the LORD will destroy the city.” But he appeared to his sons-in-lawm Lit like one who was jestingto be jesting.
15 When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in then Or iniquitypunishment of the city.” 16 But he hesitated. So the men seized his hand and the hand of his wife and theo Lit handhands of his two daughters, for the compassion of the LORD was upon him; and they brought him out, and put him outside the city. 17 When they had brought them outside,p Lit heone said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, and do not stayq Lit in all the circleanywhere in the valley; escape to ther Lit mountainmountains, or you will be swept away.” 18 But Lot said to them, “Oh no, my lords! 19 Now behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your lovingkindness, which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to thes Lit mountainmountains, for the disaster will overtake me and I will die; 20 now behold, this town is near enough to flee to, and it is small. Please, let me escape there (is it not small?)t Lit and my soul will livethat my life may be saved.” 21 He said to him, “Behold, I grant you thisu Lit thingrequest also, not to overthrow the town of which you have spoken. 22 Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore the name of the town was calledv I.e. smallZoar.
23 The sun had risen over the earth when Lot came to Zoar. 24 Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven, 25 and He overthrew those cities, and all thew Lit circlevalley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. 26 But his wife, from behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 Now Abraham arose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before the LORD; 28 and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of thex Lit circlevalley, and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land ascended like the smoke of ay Lit kilnfurnace.
29 Thus it came about, when God destroyed the cities of thez Lit circlevalley, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
30 Lot went up from Zoar, andaa Lit dweltstayed in theab Lit mountainmountains, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid toac Lit dwellstay in Zoar; and head Lit dweltstayed in a cave, he and his two daughters. 31 Then the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a manae Or in the landon earth to come in to us after the manner of the earth. 32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and let us lie with him that we may preserveaf Lit seed from our fatherour family through our father.” 33 So they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. 34 On the following 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 preserveag Lit seed from our fatherour family through our father.” 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. 36 Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father. 37 The firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day. 38 As for the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; he is the father of theah Heb Bene-Ammonsons of Ammon to this day.
