Verse 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};

Verse 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)}.

Verse 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)}.

Verse 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}:

Verse 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.

Verse 6

And Lot{H3876} went out{H3318}{(H8799)} at the door{H6607} unto them, and shut{H5462}{(H8804)} the door{H1817} after him{H310},

Verse 7

And said{H559}{(H8799)}, I pray you, brethren{H251}, do not so wickedly{H7489}{(H8686)}.

Verse 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}.

Verse 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}.

Verse 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}.

Verse 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}:

Verse 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.

Verse 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}.

Verse 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}.

Verse 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}.

Verse 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)}.

Verse 18

And Lot{H3876} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord{H113}:

Verse 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)}:

Verse 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)}.

Verse 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)}.

Verse 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}.
