Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of Sodom, and when Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face to the ground.
And he said, "Here now, my lords, please turn aside to your servant's house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way." But they said, "No, we will spend the night in the town square."
But he urged them strongly, so they turned aside to him and entered his house, and he prepared a feast for them and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, the whole population from every quarter, surrounded the house.
And they called to Lot and shouted to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have sex with them!"
So Lot went out to them at the entrance, shut the door behind him,
and said, "Please, my brothers, do not act so wickedly!
Look now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.
And they said, "Stand back!" Then they said, "This fellow came in to stay here as an alien, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them." So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door.
But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them and bolted the door.
And they struck the men who were at the entrance of the house with blindness, both young and old, so that they wore themselves out groping to find the door.
Then the men said to Lot, "Do you have anyone else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and anyone who belongs to you in the city—bring them out of this place!"
For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has become so great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.
So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, and said, "Get up, get out of this place, for the LORD is about to destroy this city!" But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.
When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city."
And while he hesitated, the men seized his hand, his wife's hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.
So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he said, "Run for your life! Do not look back or stop anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away."
Then Lot said to them, "Oh no, please, my lords!
Indeed now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness by saving my life, but I cannot escape to the mountains, lest the disaster overtake me and I die.
Look now, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one; please let me escape there (is it not a little one?) so that my life will be saved.
And he said to him, "See, I have favored you concerning this request also, in that I will not overthrow this town for which you have spoken.
Hurry, escape there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
The sun had risen over the earth when Lot reached Zoar.
Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah from the LORD out of heaven.
So He overthrew those cities, the entire plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
And Abraham arose early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.
Then he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land ascended like the smoke of a furnace.
And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, that God remembered Abraham and brought Lot out of the midst of the catastrophe when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived.
Then Lot went up out of Zoar and lived in the mountains, and his two daughters were with him, for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar, and he and his two daughters dwelt in a cave.
Now the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is no man anywhere in this entire area to come in to us as is the custom of all the earth."
Come, let us get our father to drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.
So they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father, and he was unaware when she lay down or when she arose.
The next day the firstborn said to the younger, "Indeed I lay with my father last night; let us make him drink wine tonight also, and you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father."
Then they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
Thus both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father.
The firstborn gave birth to a son and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.
And the younger also bore a son and called his name Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites to this day.
