1 And two angels came to Sodom in the evening; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing [them] rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
 - ANGELS
2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and wait all night, and wash your feet, and you will rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, No; but we will abide in the street all night.
3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in to him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, encircled round the house, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5 And 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 know them.
6 And Lot went out of the door to them, 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 out to you, and you do to them as [is] good in your eyes: only do nothing to these men; for they came under the shadow of my roof.
9 And they said, Stand back. And they said [again], This one [fellow] came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now we will deal worse with you, than with them. And they pressed hard upon the man, Lot, and came near to break the door.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
11 And they struck the men that [were] at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12 And the men said to Lot, Do you have anyone else here? Son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whatever you have in the city, bring [them] out of this place:
13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them has become great before the face of the LORD [Yahweh]; and the LORD [Yahweh] has sent us to destroy it.
14 And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, Up, get out of this place; for the LORD [Yahweh] will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked to his sons-in-law.
15 And when the morning dawned, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take your wife, and your two daughters, who are here; lest you are consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold on his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD [Yahweh] being merciful to him: and they brought him forth, and set him outside the city.
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for your life; do not look behind you, neither stay in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
18 And Lot said to them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
19 Behold now, your servant has found grace in your sight, and you have magnified your mercy, which you have showed to me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil overtake me, and I die:
20 Behold now, this city [is] near to flee to, and it [is] a little one: Oh, let me escape there, ([is] it not a little one?) and my soul will live.
21 And he said to him, See, I have accepted you concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for that which you have spoken.
22 Quickly, escape there; for I cannot do anything until you come there. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered Zoar.
24 Then the LORD [Yahweh] rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD [Yahweh] out of heaven;
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham rose up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD [Yahweh]:
28 And he looked towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and towards all the land of the plain, and saw, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 And the firstborn said to the younger, Our father [is] old, and [there is] not a man in the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth:
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he did not perceive when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 And it came to pass the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, Behold, I lay last night with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go you in, [and] lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he did not perceive when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Thus both the daughters of Lot were pregnant by their father.
37 And the firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab: the same [is] the father of the Moabites to this day.
38 And the younger also bore a son, and called his name Benammi: the same [is] the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
