VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening. And Lot was sitting in the gateway of Sodom. Then Lot saw them and stood up to meet them. And he bowed down with his face to the ground. ² And he said, "Behold, my lords, please turn aside into the house of your servant and spend the night and wash your feet. Then you can rise early and go on your way." And they said, "No, but we will spend the night in the square." ³ But he urged them strongly, and they turned aside with him and came into his house. And he made a meal for them and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. ⁴ But before they went to bed, the men of the city beset the house, both young and old, all the people together. ⁵ They 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." ⁶ Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him. ⁷ and said, I pray you, my brethren, do not wickedly! ⁸ Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man. I pray you, let me bring them out to you, and you do to them as you see fit. But do nothing to these men, for this is why they came under the shadow of my roof. 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 But the men put out their hands and pulled Lot to them, into the house, and shut the door. ¹¹ They 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. ¹² The men said to Lot, "Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, bring them out of the place: ¹³ For we are going to destroy this place; for their cry has been raised up before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it. ¹⁴ Lot 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." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking. ¹⁵ When 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 sin of the city. ¹⁶ Lot still hesitated. So the angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and rushed them to safety outside the city, for the LORD was merciful. ¹⁷ And after bringing them outside one said, "Flee for your life; do not look behind you, and do not stand anywhere in the plain. Flee to the mountains lest you be destroyed." ¹⁸ And Lot said to them, Oh no, Lord, ¹⁹ Behold, your servant has found favor in your eyes and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot flee to the mountains, lest the disaster overtake me and I die. ²⁰ "There is a small village nearby. Please let me go there instead. Do you see how small it is? Then my life will be saved." ²¹ The angel said to him: »All right, I will grant you this request too. I will not destroy the city you are talking about. ²² "Run there quickly! I cannot do anything until you get there." The city is named Zoar [Small]. ²³ The sun rises on the earth and Lot enters Soar: ²⁴ And the LORD rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the LORD out of the heavens. ²⁵ And He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all those living in the cities, and the produce of the ground. ²⁶ But his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. ²⁷ Early the next morning Abraham came to the place where he had stood in front of the LORD. ²⁸ He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land in the Plain. He saw smoke rising from the land like the thick smoke of a furnace. ²⁹ When 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. ³⁰ And Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him. For he feared to live in Zoar, and he and his two daughters lived in a cave. ³¹ And the first born said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is no man in the land to come in to us as is the way of all the earth. ³² come, we cause our father to drink wine, and lie with him, and preserve from our father—a seed.' ³³ And that night they made their father take much wine; and the older daughter went into his bed; and he had no knowledge of when she went in or when she went away. ³⁴ And on the day after, the older daughter said to the younger, Last night I was with my father; let us make him take much wine this night again, and do you go to him, so that we may have offspring by our father. ³⁵ And they caused their father to drink wine that night also. And the younger rose up and lay with him. And he did not know when she lay down, nor when she rose up. ³⁶ Both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their own father. ³⁷ And the older daughter had a son, and she gave him the name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites to this day. ³⁸ The younger daughter also had a son, whom she named Ben-ammi. He was the ancestor of the present-day Ammonites.
