1 And there came * h935 h8799 two * h8147 angels * h4397 to Sodom * h5467 at even * h6153; and Lot * h3876 sat * h3427 h8802 in the gate * h8179 of Sodom * h5467: and Lot * h3876 seeing * h7200 h8799 them rose up * h6965 h8799 to meet * h7125 h8800 them; and he bowed * h7812 h8691 himself with his face * h639 toward the ground * h776;
2 And he said * h559 h8799, Behold now, my lords * h113, turn in * h5493 h8798, I pray you, into your servant's * h5650 house * h1004, and tarry all night * h3885 h8798, and wash * h7364 h8798 your feet * h7272, and ye shall rise up early * h7925 h8689, and go * h1980 h8804 on your ways * h1870. And they said * h559 h8799, Nay; but we will abide * h3885 in the street * h7339 all night * h3885 h8799.
3 And he pressed * h6484 h8799 upon them greatly * h3966; and they turned in * h5493 h8799 unto him, and entered * h935 h8799 into his house * h1004; and he made * h6213 h8799 them a feast * h4960, and did bake * h644 h8804 unleavened bread * h4682, and they did eat * h398 h8799.
4 But before they lay down * h7901 h8799, the men * h582 of the city * h5892, even the men * h582 of Sodom * h5467, compassed * h5437 the house * h1004 round * h5437 h8738, both old * h2205 and young * h5288, all the people * h5971 from every quarter * h7097:
5 And they called * h7121 h8799 unto Lot * h3876, and said * h559 h8799 unto him, Where are the men * h582 which came in * h935 h8804 to thee this night * h3915? bring them out * h3318 h8685 unto us, that we may know * h3045 h8799 them.
6 And Lot * h3876 went out * h3318 h8799 at the door * h6607 unto them, and shut * h5462 h8804 the door * h1817 after him * h310,
7 And said * h559 h8799, I pray you, brethren * h251, do not so wickedly * h7489 h8686.
8 Behold now, I have two * h8147 daughters * h1323 which have not known * h3045 h8804 man * h376; let me, I pray you, bring them out * h3318 h8686 unto you, and do * h6213 h8798 ye to them as is good * h2896 in your eyes * h5869: only unto these * h411 men * h582 do * h6213 h8799 nothing * h408 * h1697; for therefore came * h935 h8804 they under the shadow * h6738 of my roof * h6982.
9 And they said * h559 h8799, Stand * h5066 h8798 back * h1973. And they said * h559 h8799 again , This one * h259 fellow came in * h935 h8804 to sojourn * h1481 h8800, and he will needs * h8199 h8800 be a judge * h8199 h8799: now will we deal worse * h7489 h8686 with thee, than with them. And they pressed * h6484 h8799 sore * h3966 upon the man * h376, even Lot * h3876, and came near * h5066 h8799 to break * h7665 h8800 the door * h1817.
10 But the men * h582 put forth * h7971 h8799 their hand * h3027, and pulled * h935 h8686 Lot * h3876 into the house * h1004 to them, and shut * h5462 h8804 to the door * h1817.
11 And they smote * h5221 h8689 the men * h582 that were at the door * h6607 of the house * h1004 with blindness * h5575, both small * h6996 and great * h1419: so that they wearied * h3811 h8799 themselves to find * h4672 h8800 the door * h6607.
12 And the men * h582 said * h559 h8799 unto Lot * h3876, Hast thou here * h6311 any * h4310 besides? son in law * h2860, and thy sons * h1121, and thy daughters * h1323, and whatsoever * h834 thou hast in the city * h5892, bring them out * h3318 h8685 of this place * h4725:
13 For we * h587 will destroy * h7843 h8688 * h853 this place * h4725, because the cry of them * h6818 is waxen great * h1431 h8804 before * h854 the face * h6440 of the LORD * h3068; and the LORD * h3068 hath sent * h7971 h8762 us to destroy * h7843 h8763 it.
14 And Lot * h3876 went out * h3318 h8799, and spake * h1696 h8762 unto his sons in law * h2860, which married * h3947 h8802 his daughters * h1323, and said * h559 h8799, Up * h6965 h8798, get you out * h3318 h8798 of this place * h4725; for the LORD * h3068 will destroy * h7843 h8688 this city * h5892. But he seemed as one that mocked * h6711 h8764 unto * h5869 his sons in law * h2860.
15 And when * h3644 the morning * h7837 arose * h5927 h8804, then the angels * h4397 hastened * h213 h8686 Lot * h3876, saying * h559 h8800, Arise * h6965 h8798, take * h3947 h8798 thy wife * h802, and thy two * h8147 daughters * h1323, which are here * h4672 h8737; lest thou be consumed * h5595 h8735 in the iniquity * h5771 of the city * h5892. are here: Heb. are found iniquity: or, punishment
16 And while he lingered * h4102 h8698, the men * h582 laid hold * h2388 h8686 upon his hand * h3027, and upon the hand * h3027 of his wife * h802, and upon the hand * h3027 of his two * h8147 daughters * h1323; the LORD * h3068 being merciful * h2551 unto him: and they brought him forth * h3318 h8686, and set him * h3240 h8686 without * h2351 the city * h5892.
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth * h3318 h8687 abroad * h2351, that he said * h559 h8799, Escape * h4422 h8734 for * h5921 thy life * h5315; look * h5027 h8686 not behind thee * h310, neither stay * h5975 h8799 thou in all the plain * h3603; escape * h4422 h8734 to the mountain * h2022, lest thou be consumed * h5595 h8735.
18 And Lot * h3876 said * h559 h8799 unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord * h113:
19 Behold now, thy servant * h5650 hath found * h4672 h8804 grace * h2580 in thy sight * h5869, and thou hast magnified * h1431 h8686 thy mercy * h2617, which thou hast shewed * h6213 h8804 unto me * h5978 in saving * h2421 h8687 my life * h5315; and I cannot * h3201 h8799 escape * h4422 h8736 to the mountain * h2022, lest some evil * h7451 take * h1692 h8799 me, and I die * h4191 h8804:
20 Behold now, this city * h5892 is near * h7138 to flee * h5127 h8800 unto, and it * h1931 is a little one * h4705: Oh, let me escape * h4422 h8735 thither, ( is it not a little one * h4705?) and my soul * h5315 shall live * h2421 h8799.
21 And he said * h559 h8799 unto him, See * h2009, I have accepted * h5375 h8804 thee * h6440 concerning this thing * h1697 also, that I will not overthrow * h2015 h8800 this city * h5892, for the which * h834 thou hast spoken * h1696 h8765. thee: Heb. thy face
22 Haste * h4116 h8761 thee, escape * h4422 h8734 thither; for I cannot * h3201 h8799 do * h6213 h8800 any thing * h1697 till thou be come * h935 h8800 thither. Therefore the name * h8034 of the city * h5892 was called * h7121 h8804 Zoar * h6820. Zoar: that is, Little
23 The sun * h8121 was risen * h3318 h8804 upon the earth * h776 when Lot * h3876 entered * h935 h8804 into Zoar * h6820. risen: Heb. gone forth
24 Then the LORD * h3068 rained * h4305 h8689 upon Sodom * h5467 and upon Gomorrah * h6017 brimstone * h1614 and fire * h784 from the LORD * h3068 out of heaven * h8064;
25 And he overthrew * h2015 h8799 those * h411 cities * h5892, and all the plain * h3603, and all the inhabitants * h3427 h8802 of the cities * h5892, and that which grew * h6780 upon the ground * h127.
26 But his wife * h802 looked back * h5027 h8686 from behind him * h310, and she became a pillar * h5333 of salt * h4417.
27 And Abraham * h85 gat up early * h7925 h8686 in the morning * h1242 to the place * h4725 where he stood * h5975 h8804 before * h6440 the LORD * h3068:
28 And he looked * h8259 h8686 toward * h6440 Sodom * h5467 and Gomorrah * h6017, and toward * h6440 all the land * h776 of the plain * h3603, and beheld * h7200 h8799, and, lo, the smoke * h7008 of the country * h776 went up * h5927 h8804 as the smoke * h7008 of a furnace * h3536.
29 And it came to pass, when God * h430 destroyed * h7843 h8763 the cities * h5892 of the plain * h3603, that God * h430 remembered * h2142 h8799 Abraham * h85, and sent * h7971 h8762 Lot * h3876 out of the midst * h8432 of the overthrow * h2018, when he overthrew * h2015 h8800 the cities * h5892 in the which * h2004 Lot * h3876 dwelt * h3427 h8804.
30 And Lot * h3876 went up * h5927 h8799 out of Zoar * h6820, and dwelt * h3427 h8799 in the mountain * h2022, and his two * h8147 daughters * h1323 with him; for he feared * h3372 h8804 to dwell * h3427 h8800 in Zoar * h6820: and he dwelt * h3427 h8799 in a cave * h4631, he and his two * h8147 daughters * h1323.
31 And the firstborn * h1067 said * h559 h8799 unto the younger * h6810, Our father * h1 is old * h2204 h8804, and there is not a man * h376 in the earth * h776 to come in * h935 h8800 unto us after the manner * h1870 of all the earth * h776:
32 Come * h3212 h8798, let us make * h8248 our father * h1 drink * h8248 h8686 wine * h3196, and we will lie * h7901 h8799 with him, that we may preserve * h2421 h8762 seed * h2233 of our father * h1.
33 And they made * h8248 their father * h1 drink * h8248 h8686 wine * h3196 that night * h3915: and the firstborn * h1067 went in * h935 h8799, and lay * h7901 h8799 with her father * h1; and he perceived * h3045 h8804 not when she lay down * h7901 h8800, nor when she arose * h6965 h8800.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow * h4283, that the firstborn * h1067 said * h559 h8799 unto the younger * h6810, Behold, I lay * h7901 h8804 yesternight * h570 with my father * h1: let us make him drink * h8248 h8686 wine * h3196 this night * h3915 also; and go thou in * h935 h8798, and lie * h7901 h8798 with him, that we may preserve * h2421 h8762 seed * h2233 of our father * h1.
35 And they made * h8248 their father * h1 drink * h8248 h8686 wine * h3196 that * h1931 night * h3915 also: and the younger * h6810 arose * h6965 h8799, and lay * h7901 h8799 with him; and he perceived * h3045 h8804 not when she lay down * h7901 h8800, nor when she arose * h6965 h8800.
36 Thus were both * h8147 the daughters * h1323 of Lot * h3876 with child * h2029 h8799 by their father * h1.
37 And the firstborn * h1067 bare * h3205 h8799 a son * h1121, and called * h7121 h8799 his name * h8034 Moab * h4124: the same * h1931 is the father * h1 of the Moabites * h4124 unto this day * h3117.
38 And the younger * h6810, she also bare * h3205 h8804 a son * h1121, and called * h7121 h8799 his name * h8034 Benammi * h1151: the same is the father * h1 of the children * h1121 of Ammon * h5983 unto this day * h3117.
