1 And there came two an­gels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot see­ing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed him­self with his face to­ward the ground; 2 And he said, Be­hold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tar­ry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up ear­ly, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. 3 And he pressed upon them great­ly; and they turned in unto him, and en­tered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake un­leav­ened bread, and they did eat. 4 But be­fore they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, com­passed the house round, both old and young, all the peo­ple from ev­ery quar­ter: 5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. 6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door af­ter him, 7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wicked­ly. 8 Be­hold now, I have two daugh­ters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do noth­ing; for there­fore came they un­der the shad­ow of my roof. 9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to so­journ, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. 10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blind­ness, both small and great: so that they wea­ried them­selves to find the door. 12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any be­sides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daugh­ters, and what­so­ev­er thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: 13 For we will de­stroy this place, be­cause the cry of them is wax­en great be­fore the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to de­stroy it. 14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which mar­ried his daugh­ters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will de­stroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. 15 And when the morn­ing arose, then the an­gels has­tened Lot, say­ing, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daugh­ters, which are here; lest thou be con­sumed in the in­iq­ui­ty of the city. 16 And while he lin­gered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daugh­ters; the LORD be­ing mer­ci­ful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him with­out the city. 17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Es­cape for thy life; look not be­hind thee, nei­ther stay thou in all the plain; es­cape to the moun­tain, lest thou be con­sumed. 18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: 19 Be­hold now, thy ser­vant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast mag­ni­fied thy mer­cy, which thou hast shewed unto me in sav­ing my life; and I can­not es­cape to the moun­tain, lest some evil take me, and I die: 20 Be­hold now, this city is near to flee un­to, and it is a lit­tle one: Oh, let me es­cape thith­er, (is it not a lit­tle one? ) and my soul shall live. 21 And he said unto him, See, I have ac­cept­ed thee con­cern­ing this thing al­so, that I will not over­throw this city, for the which thou hast spo­ken. 22 Haste thee, es­cape thith­er; for I can­not do any thing till thou be come thith­er. There­fore the name of the city was called Zoar. 23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot en­tered into Zoar. 24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Go­mor­rah brim­stone and fire from the LORD out of heav­en; 25 And he over­threw those cities, and all the plain, and all the in­hab­i­tants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. 26 But his wife looked back from be­hind him, and she be­came a pil­lar of salt. 27 And Abra­ham gat up ear­ly in the morn­ing to the place where he stood be­fore the LORD: 28 And he looked to­ward Sodom and Go­mor­rah, and to­ward all the land of the plain, and be­held, and, lo, the smoke of the coun­try went up as the smoke of a fur­nace. 29 And it came to pass, when God de­stroyed the cities of the plain, that God re­mem­bered Abra­ham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the over­throw, when he over­threw the cities in the which Lot dwelt. 30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the moun­tain, and his two daugh­ters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daugh­ters. 31 And the first­born said unto the younger, Our fa­ther is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us af­ter the man­ner of all the earth: 32 Come, let us make our fa­ther drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may pre­serve seed of our fa­ther. 33 And they made their fa­ther drink wine that night: and the first­born went in, and lay with her fa­ther; and he per­ceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 34 And it came to pass on the mor­row, that the first­born said unto the younger, Be­hold, I lay yestern­ight with my fa­ther: let us make him drink wine this night al­so; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may pre­serve seed of our fa­ther. 35 And they made their fa­ther drink wine that night al­so: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he per­ceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 36 Thus were both the daugh­ters of Lot with child by their fa­ther. 37 And the first­born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the fa­ther of the Moabites unto this day. 38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Be­nam­mi: the same is the fa­ther of the chil­dren of Am­mon unto this day.
