Genesis 19 📜 📕 ↷
4 And before they went to bed, the men of the city beset the house from young to old, all the people together.📜💬📚
5 And they called Lot, and said to him: Where are the men that came in to thee at night? Bring them forth hither that we may know them.📜💬📚
6 Lot going forth to them, and shutting the door after him, said:📜💬📚
7 Do not so, I beseech you, my brethren, do not commit this evil.📜💬📚
8 I have two daughters, which as yet have not known man: I will bring them forth to you, and abuse you them as it shall please you, so that you do no evil to these men, because they are entered under the shadow of my roof.📜💬📚
9 But they said: Get thee back thither. And again: Thou camest in, said they, as a stranger, what to be a Judge? Thy self therefore we will afflict more than these. And they did violence to Lot exceedingly: and it was even now at the point that they would break the doors.📜💬📚
10 And behold the men put forth their hand, and drew in Lot unto them, and shut the door:📜💬📚
11 and them that were without they struck with blindness from the least to the greatest, so that they could not find the door.📜💬📚
Lot Flees to Zoar
12 And they said to Lot: Hast thou here any of thine? Son in law, or sons, or daughters, all that are thine, bring them out of this city:📜💬📚
13 for we will destroy this place, for that their cry is waxen loud before our Lord, who hath sent us to destroy them.📜💬📚
14 Therefore Lot went forth, and spake to his sons in law that were to take his daughters, and said: Arise, get you forth out of this place, because our Lord will destroy this city. And he seemed unto them to speak as it were in jest.📜💬📚
