Ask a QuestionAnd as they brought them out, one said, "Escape for your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away."
As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city."
And Lot said to them, "Oh, no, my lords.
and said, "I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them and shut the door.
Behold, I have two daughters who have not known any man. Let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please. Only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof."
For we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it."
And they called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them."
He said to him, "Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
Lot went out to the men at the entrance, shut the door after him,
But he pressed them strongly; so they turned aside to him and entered his house. And he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
Then the men said to Lot, "Have you anyone else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone you have in the city, bring them out of the place.
But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house.
And they struck with blindness the men who were at the entrance of the house, both small and great, so that they wore themselves out groping for the door.
Behold, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there - is it not a little one? - and my life will be saved!"
Escape there quickly, for I can do nothing till you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face to the earth
and said, "My lords, please turn aside to your servant's house and spend the night and wash your feet. Then you may rise up early and go on your way." They said, "No; we will spend the night in the town square."
But they said, "Stand back!" And they said, "This fellow came to sojourn, and he has become the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them." Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door down.
So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, "Up! Get out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting.
