Genesis Chapter 19
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.
