Bring them out to us, that we may know them. 6 And Lot went out to them at the door, and shut the door after him. 7 And said, I pray you, brothers, do not do so wickedly. 8 Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; let me, I pray you, bring them to you, and do to them as seems good in your eyes: only do nothing to these men; for they have come under the shadow of my roof. 9 And they said, Stand back.
