8 Look, I have two daughters who have never been intimate with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do to them whatever you please. Only don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”
9 “Out of our way!” they cried, and“This man came to live here as a foreigner, and now he dares to judge us! We’ll do more harm to you than to them!” They kept pressing in on Lot until they were close enough to break down the door.
10 So the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house as they shut the door.
11 Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, from the youngest to the oldest, with blindness. The men outside wore themselves out trying to find the door.
12 Then the two visitors said to Lot,“Who else do you have here? Do you have any sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or other relatives in the city? Get them out of this place
13 because we are about to destroy it. The outcry against this place is so great before the LORD that he has sent us to destroy it.”
14 Then Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law who were going to marry his daughters. He said,“Quick, get out of this place because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was ridiculing them.
15 At dawn the angels hurried Lot along, saying,“Get going! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or else you will be destroyed when the city is judged!”
16 When Lot hesitated, the men grabbed his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters because the LORD had compassion on them. They led them away and placed them outside the city.
17 When they had brought them outside, they said,“Run for your lives! Don’t look behind you or stop anywhere in the valley! Escape to the mountains or you will be destroyed!”
18 But Lot said to them,“No, please, Lord!
19 Your servant has found favor with you, and you have shown me great kindness by sparing my life. But I am not able to escape to the mountains because this disaster will overtake me and I’ll die.
22 They were having a good time, when suddenly some men of the city, some good-for-nothings, surrounded the house and kept beating on the door. They said to the old man who owned the house,“Send out the man who came to visit you so we can take carnal knowledge of him.”
23 The man who owned the house went outside and said to them,“No, my brothers! Don’t do this wicked thing! After all, this man is a guest in my house. Don’t do such a disgraceful thing!
24 Here are my virgin daughter and my guest’s concubine. I will send them out and you can abuse them and do to them whatever you like. But don’t do such a disgraceful thing to this man!”
4 Before they could lie down to sleep, all the men– both young and old, from every part of the city of Sodom– surrounded the house.
5 They shouted to Lot,“Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so we can take carnal knowledge of them!”
6 Lot went outside to them, shutting the door behind him.
1 The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah The two angels came to Sodom in the evening while Lot was sitting in the city’s gateway. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face toward the ground.
2 He said,“Here, my lords, please turn aside to your servant’s house. Stay the night and wash your feet. Then you can be on your way early in the morning.”“No,” they replied,“we’ll spend the night in the town square.”
29 So when God destroyed the cities of the region, God honored Abraham’s request. He removed Lot from the midst of the destruction when he destroyed the cities Lot had lived in.
30 Lot went up from Zoar with his two daughters and settled in the mountains because he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave with his two daughters.
31 Later the older daughter said to the younger,“Our father is old, and there is no man in the country to sleep with us, the way everyone does.
22 The two men turned and headed toward Sodom, but Abraham was still standing before the LORD.
23 Abraham approached and said,“Will you really sweep away the godly along with the wicked?
24 What if there are fifty godly people in the city? Will you really wipe it out and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty godly people who are in it?
25 Far be it from you to do such a thing– to kill the godly with the wicked, treating the godly and the wicked alike! Far be it from you! Will not the judge of the whole earth do what is right?”
26 So the LORD replied,“If I find in the city of Sodom fifty godly people, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man in anguish over the debauched lifestyle of lawless men,
8 (for while he lived among them day after day, that righteous man was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)
20 So the LORD said,“The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so blatant
12 Abram settled in the land of Canaan, but Lot settled among the cities of the Jordan plain and pitched his tents next to Sodom.
13 (Now the people of Sodom were extremely wicked rebels against the LORD.)
8 Abram said to Lot,“Let there be no quarreling between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are close relatives.
35 So they made their father drunk that night as well, and the younger one came and went to bed with him. But he was not aware of when she lay down with him or when she got up.
36 In this way both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.
7 They answered him,“Why does my lord say such things? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing!
21 “Very well,” he replied,“I will grant this request too and will not overthrow the town you mentioned.
22 Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.”(This incident explains why the town was called Zoar.)
29 but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 Then Abraham said,“May the Lord not be angry so that I may speak! What if thirty are found there?” He replied,“I will not do it if I find thirty there.”
31 Abraham said,“Since I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty are found there?” He replied,“I will not destroy it for the sake of the twenty.”
32 Finally Abraham said,“May the Lord not be angry so that I may speak just once more. What if ten are found there?” He replied,“I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”
12 But she said to him,“No, my brother! Don’t humiliate me! This just isn’t done in Israel! Don’t do this foolish thing!
3 He said,“My lord, if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by and leave your servant.
17 Then the LORD said,“Should I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?
