And they said, No; but we will stay in the street all night. 3 But he pressed upon them greatly, so they turned to him and entered his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter. 5 And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men who came to you tonight? 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. And they said again, This one came here to stay, and he will act as a judge: now we will deal worse with you than with them.
