[1] The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth, [2] and he said, “See now, my lords, please come into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way.”They said, “No, but we will stay in the street all night.” [3] He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into 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, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter. [5] 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 have sex with them.” [6] Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself. [7] He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly. [8] See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.” [9] They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now we will deal worse with you than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot, and came near to break the door. [10] But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. [11] They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door. [12] The men said to Lot, “Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place: [13] for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown so great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it.” [14] Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, “Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city!”But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking. [15] When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.” [16] But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city. [17] It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, “Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!” [18] Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord. [19] See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die. [20] See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn’t it a little one?), and my soul will live.” [21] He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. [22] Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.ⓘ [23] The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. [24] Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky. [25] He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground. [26] But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. [27] Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh. [28] He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace. [29] When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived. [30] Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters. [31] The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth. [32] Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.” [33] They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose. [34] It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.” [35] They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up. [36] Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father. [37] The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day. [38] The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.

King James Version
[1] And there came H935 (QalImpf) two H8147 angels H4397 to Sodom H5467 at even; H6153 and Lot H3876 sat H3427 (QalActPtc) in the gate H8179 of Sodom: H5467 and Lot H3876 seeing H7200 (QalImpf) them rose up H6965 (QalImpf) to meet H7125 (QalInf) them; and he bowed H7812 (HithImpf) himself with his face H639 toward the ground; H776 [2] and he said, H559 (QalImpf) Behold now, my lords, H113 turn in, H5493 (QalImpv) I pray you, into your servant’s H5650 house, H1004 and tarry all night, H3885 (QalImpv) and wash H7364 (QalImpv) your feet, H7272 and ye shall rise up early, H7925 (HiphPerf) and go H1980 (QalPerf) on your ways. H1870 And they said, H559 (QalImpf) Nay; but we will abide H3885 in the street H7339 all night. H3885 (QalImpf) [3] And he pressed H6484 (QalImpf) upon them greatly; H3966 and they turned in H5493 (QalImpf) unto him, and entered H935 (QalImpf) into his house; H1004 and he made H6213 (QalImpf) them a feast, H4960 and did bake H644 (QalPerf) unleavened bread, H4682 and they did eat. H398 (QalImpf) [4] But before they lay down, H7901 (QalImpf) the men H582 of the city, H5892 even the men H582 of Sodom, H5467 compassed H5437 the house H1004 round, H5437 (NiphPerf) both old H2205 and young, H5288 all the people H5971 from every quarter: H7097 [5] and they called H7121 (QalImpf) unto Lot, H3876 and said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Where are the men H582 which came in H935 (QalPerf) to thee this night? H3915 bring them out H3318 (HiphImpv) unto us, that we may know H3045 (QalImpf) them. [6] And Lot H3876 went out H3318 (QalImpf) at the door H6607 unto them, and shut H5462 (QalPerf) the door H1817 after him, H310 [7] and said, H559 (QalImpf) I pray you, brethren, H251 do not so wickedly. H7489 (HiphImpf) [8] Behold now, I have two H8147 daughters H1323 which have not known H3045 (QalPerf) man; H376 let me, I pray you, bring them out H3318 (HiphImpf) unto you, and do H6213 (QalImpv) ye to them as is good H2896 in your eyes: H5869 only unto these H411 men H582 do H6213 (QalImpf) nothing; H408 for therefore came H935 (QalPerf) they under the shadow H6738 of my roof. H6982 [9] And they said, H559 (QalImpf) Stand H5066 (QalImpv) back. H1973 And they said H559 (QalImpf) again, This one H259 fellow came in H935 (QalPerf) to sojourn, H1481 (QalInf) and he will needs H8199 (QalInf) be a judge: H8199 (QalImpf) now will we deal worse H7489 (HiphImpf) with thee, than with them. And they pressed H6484 (QalImpf) sore H3966 upon the man, H376 even Lot, H3876 and came near H5066 (QalImpf) to break H7665 (QalInf) the door. H1817 [10] But the men H582 put forth H7971 (QalImpf) their hand, H3027 and pulled H935 (HiphImpf) Lot H3876 into the house H1004 to them, and shut H5462 (QalPerf) to the door. H1817 [11] And they smote H5221 (HiphPerf) the men H582 that were at the door H6607 of the house H1004 with blindness, H5575 both small H6996 and great: H1419 so that they wearied H3811 (QalImpf) themselves to find H4672 (QalInf) the door. H6607 [12] And the men H582 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Lot, H3876 Hast thou here H6311 any H4310 besides? son in law, H2860 and thy sons, H1121 and thy daughters, H1323 and whatsoever H834 thou hast in the city, H5892 bring them out H3318 (HiphImpv) of this place: H4725 [13] for we H587 will destroy H7843 (HiphPtc) this place, H4725 because the cry of them H6818 is waxen great H1431 (QalPerf) before H854 the face H6440 of the Lord; H3068 and the Lord H3068 hath sent H7971 (PielImpf) us to destroy H7843 (PielInf) it. [14] And Lot H3876 went out, H3318 (QalImpf) and spake H1696 (PielImpf) unto his sons in law, H2860 which married H3947 (QalActPtc) his daughters, H1323 and said, H559 (QalImpf) Up, H6965 (QalImpv) get you out H3318 (QalImpv) of this place; H4725 for the Lord H3068 will destroy H7843 (HiphPtc) this city. H5892 But he seemed as one that mocked H6711 (PielPtc) unto H5869 his sons in law. H2860 [15] And when H3644 the morning H7837 arose, H5927 (QalPerf) then the angels H4397 hastened H213 (HiphImpf) Lot, H3876 saying, H559 (QalInf) Arise, H6965 (QalImpv) take H3947 (QalImpv) thy wife, H802 and thy two H8147 daughters, H1323 which are here; H4672 (NiphPtc)§ lest thou be consumed H5595 (NiphImpf) in the iniquity H5771§ of the city. H5892 [16] And while he lingered, H4102 (HippImpf) the men H582 laid hold H2388 (HiphImpf) upon his hand, H3027 and upon the hand H3027 of his wife, H802 and upon the hand H3027 of his two H8147 daughters; H1323 the Lord H3068 being merciful H2551 unto him: and they brought him forth, H3318 (HiphImpf) and set him H3240 (HiphImpf) without H2351 the city. H5892 [17] And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth H3318 (HiphInf) abroad, H2351 that he said, H559 (QalImpf) Escape H4422 (NiphImpv) for H5921 thy life; H5315 look H5027 (HiphImpf) not behind thee, H310 neither stay H5975 (QalImpf) thou in all the plain; H3603 escape H4422 (NiphImpv) to the mountain, H2022 lest thou be consumed. H5595 (NiphImpf) [18] And Lot H3876 said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: H113 [19] behold now, thy servant H5650 hath found H4672 (QalPerf) grace H2580 in thy sight, H5869 and thou hast magnified H1431 (HiphImpf) thy mercy, H2617 which thou hast shewed H6213 (QalPerf) unto me H5978 in saving H2421 (HiphInf) my life; H5315 and I cannot H3201 (QalImpf) escape H4422 (NiphInf) to the mountain, H2022 lest some evil H7451 take H1692 (QalImpf) me, and I die: H4191 (QalPerf) [20] behold now, this city H5892 is near H7138 to flee H5127 (QalInf) unto, and it H1931 is a little one: H4705 Oh, let me escape H4422 (NiphImpf) thither, (is it not a little one?) H4705 and my soul H5315 shall live. H2421 (QalImpf) [21] And he said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, See, H2009 I have accepted H5375 (QalPerf) thee H6440§ concerning this thing H1697 also, that I will not overthrow H2015 (QalInf) this city, H5892 for the which H834 thou hast spoken. H1696 (PielPerf) [22] Haste H4116 (PielImpv) thee, escape H4422 (NiphImpv) thither; for I cannot H3201 (QalImpf) do H6213 (QalInf) any thing H1697 till thou be come H935 (QalInf) thither. Therefore the name H8034 of the city H5892 was called H7121 (QalPerf) Zoar. H6820 [23] The sun H8121 was risen H3318 (QalPerf)§ upon the earth H776 when Lot H3876 entered H935 (QalPerf) into Zoar. H6820 [24] Then the Lord H3068 rained H4305 (HiphPerf) upon Sodom H5467 and upon Gomorrah H6017 brimstone H1614 and fire H784 from the Lord H3068 out of heaven; H8064 [25] and he overthrew H2015 (QalImpf) those H411 cities, H5892 and all the plain, H3603 and all the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of the cities, H5892 and that which grew H6780 upon the ground. H127 [26] But his wife H802 looked back H5027 (HiphImpf) from behind him, H310 and she became a pillar H5333 of salt. H4417 [27] And Abraham H85 gat up early H7925 (HiphImpf) in the morning H1242 to the place H4725 where he stood H5975 (QalPerf) before H6440 the Lord: H3068 [28] and he looked H8259 (HiphImpf) toward H6440 Sodom H5467 and Gomorrah, H6017 and toward H6440 all the land H776 of the plain, H3603 and beheld, H7200 (QalImpf) and, lo, the smoke H7008 of the country H776 went up H5927 (QalPerf) as the smoke H7008 of a furnace. H3536 [29] And it came to pass, when God H430 destroyed H7843 (PielInf) the cities H5892 of the plain, H3603 that God H430 remembered H2142 (QalImpf) Abraham, H85 and sent H7971 (PielImpf) Lot H3876 out of the midst H8432 of the overthrow, H2018 when he overthrew H2015 (QalInf) the cities H5892 in the which H2004 Lot H3876 dwelt. H3427 (QalPerf) [30] And Lot H3876 went up H5927 (QalImpf) out of Zoar, H6820 and dwelt H3427 (QalImpf) in the mountain, H2022 and his two H8147 daughters H1323 with him; for he feared H3372 (QalPerf) to dwell H3427 (QalInf) in Zoar: H6820 and he dwelt H3427 (QalImpf) in a cave, H4631 he and his two H8147 daughters. H1323 [31] And the firstborn H1067 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the younger, H6810 Our father H1 is old, H2204 (QalPerf) and there is not a man H376 in the earth H776 to come in H935 (QalInf) unto us after the manner H1870 of all the earth: H776 [32] come, H3212 (QalImpv) let us make H8248 our father H1 drink H8248 (HiphImpf) wine, H3196 and we will lie H7901 (QalImpf) with him, that we may preserve H2421 (PielImpf) seed H2233 of our father. H1 [33] And they made H8248 their father H1 drink H8248 (HiphImpf) wine H3196 that night: H3915 and the firstborn H1067 went in, H935 (QalImpf) and lay H7901 (QalImpf) with her father; H1 and he perceived H3045 (QalPerf) not when she lay down, H7901 (QalInf) nor when she arose. H6965 (QalInf) [34] And it came to pass on the morrow, H4283 that the firstborn H1067 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the younger, H6810 Behold, I lay H7901 (QalPerf) yesternight H570 with my father: H1 let us make him drink H8248 (HiphImpf) wine H3196 this night H3915 also; and go thou in, H935 (QalImpv) and lie H7901 (QalImpv) with him, that we may preserve H2421 (PielImpf) seed H2233 of our father. H1 [35] And they made H8248 their father H1 drink H8248 (HiphImpf) wine H3196 that H1931 night H3915 also: and the younger H6810 arose, H6965 (QalImpf) and lay H7901 (QalImpf) with him; and he perceived H3045 (QalPerf) not when she lay down, H7901 (QalInf) nor when she arose. H6965 (QalInf) [36] Thus were both H8147 the daughters H1323 of Lot H3876 with child H2029 (QalImpf) by their father. H1 [37] And the firstborn H1067 bare H3205 (QalImpf) a son, H1121 and called H7121 (QalImpf) his name H8034 Moab: H4124 the same H1931 is the father H1 of the Moabites H4124 unto this day. H3117 [38] And the younger, H6810 she also bare H3205 (QalPerf) a son, H1121 and called H7121 (QalImpf) his name H8034 Ben-ammi: H1151 the same is the father H1 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 unto this day.
