- 1The 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,
- 2and he said, "See now, my lords, please turn aside into your servant's house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you will rise up early, and go on your way." They said, "No, but we will stay in the street all night."

- 6Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him.
- 7He said, "Please, my brothers, don't act so wickedly.

- 11They 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.

- 16But he lingered; and the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
- 17It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, "Escape for your life! Don't look behind you, neither stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed!"

- 23The sun was risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
- 24Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.
- 25He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
- 26But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
- 27Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.
- 28He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and looked, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.

- 30Lot 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.
- 31The 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.
- 32Come, let's make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father's seed."
- 33They 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.
- 34It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again, tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father's seed."

- 36Thus both of Lot's daughters were with child by their father.
- 37The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. The same is the father of the Moabites to this day.
- 38The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. The same is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
