Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>and he said, "See now, my lords, please turn aside into your servant's house, and stay all night, and wash your feet, then you may rise up early, and go on your way." They said, "No, but we will stay in the street all night." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>But he urged them so strongly that they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>But before they could lie down to sleep, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>They called to Lot, and said to him, "Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Lot went out to them at the entrance, and shut the door behind him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>He said, "Please, my brothers, do not act so wickedly. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Look, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only do not do anything to these men, because they have come under the protection of my roof." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>They said, "Stand back." They said, "This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them." They pressed hard on the man Lot, and drew near to break the door. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they were unable to find the door.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>The men said to Lot, "Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, bring them out of the place: <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before God that he has sent us to destroy it." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, "Get up. Get out of this place, for God will destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot along, saying, "Get up. Take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, and get out, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>But he hesitated, so the men grabbed his hand, his wife's hand, and his two daughters' hands, God being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, "Escape for your life. Do not look behind you, and do not stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Lot said to them, "Oh, not so, my lord. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can't escape to the mountain, lest the disaster overtake me, and I die. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there--isn't it a little one?--and my life will be saved." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>He said to him, "Look, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>Hurry, escape there, for I can't do anything until you get there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Then God rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the sky. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before God. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and he saw; and look, the smoke was rising from the land like smoke from a furnace.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>It happened, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>The firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man in the land to sleep with us according to the custom of all the land. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Come, let's make our father drink wine, and we will sleep with him, that we may preserve our family through our father." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and slept with her father. He did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, "Look, I slept last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father's family." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and slept with him. He did not know when she lay down, nor when she got up. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>Thus both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/19-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the people of Ammon to this day.<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
