4 But ere they lie down, the men of the city - the men of Sedom surround the house - from aged to lad - all the people from every extremity:
5 and they call to Lot and say to him, Where are the men who came in to you this night? bring them out to us, for us to know them.
6 And Lot goes to them at the portal and shuts the door after him,
7 and says, I beseech you, brothers, vilify not:
8 behold, I beseech, I have two daughters who know no man; I - I beseech you, I bring them out to you and you work to them as is good in your eyes: only work no word to these men; and so they come under the shadow of my beams.
9 And they say, Draw back. And they say, This one came in to sojourn and in judging, he judges: now we vilify you, rather than them. And they urge mightily on the man, Lot and come near to break the door.
10 And the men spread their hand and pull Lot into the house to them and shut the door:
11 and they smite the men at the portal of the house with blindness - both small and great: so that they weary themselves to find the portal.
