01_GEN_19_01 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 ;
01_GEN_19_02 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 .
01_GEN_19_03 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 .
01_GEN_19_04 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 :
01_GEN_19_05 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 .
01_GEN_19_06 And lot went out at the door unto them , And shut the door after him ,
01_GEN_19_07 And said , I pray you , brethren , do not So wickedly .
01_GEN_19_08 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 .
01_GEN_19_09 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 .
01_GEN_19_10 but the men put forth their hand , And pulled lot into the house to them , And shut to the door .
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_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 :
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_18 And lot said unto them , Oh , not So , my LORD :
01_GEN_19_19 behold now , thy servant hath found grace in thy sight , And thou hast magnified thy mercy , which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life ; And I cannot escape to the mountain , lest some evil take me , And I die :
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_23 the sun was risen upon the earth when lot entered into Zoar .
01_GEN_19_24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom And upon Gomorrah brimstone And fire from the LORD out of heaven ;
01_GEN_19_25 And he overthrew those cities , And all the plain , And all the inhabitants of the cities , And that which grew upon the ground .
01_GEN_19_26 but his wife looked back from behind him , And she became A pillar of salt .
01_GEN_19_27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD :
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_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 :
01_GEN_19_32 come , let us make our Father drink wine , And we will Lie with him , that we may preserve seed of our Father .
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_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 .
01_GEN_19_36 thus were Both the daughters of lot with child by their Father .
01_GEN_19_37 And the firstborn bare A son , And called his name Moab : the same [ Is ] the Father of the Moabites unto this day .
01_GEN_19_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 .
