1 And two messengers shall come to Sodom in the evening; and Lot will sit in the gate of Sodom; and Lot will see, and will rise up to meet them, and will bow himself with the face to the earth. 2 And he will say, Behold now, lords, turn aside now to the house of your servant, and pass the night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise early and go forth to your ways. And they will say, Nay; for in the street we will pass the night. 3 And he will press upon them greatly; and they will turn aside to him, and they will come in to his house; and he will make to them a drinking, and he baked unleavened loaves, and they will eat. 4 Before the men of the city shall lie down, the men of Sodom surrounded the house about, from youth, even to old age, all the people from the end. 5 And they will call to Lot, and will say to him, Where the men which came to thee this night? bring them out to us and we shall know them. 6 And Lot went forth to them to the entrance, and shut the door after him, 7 And he will say, Now my brothers, ye shall not be evil. 8 Behold now, to me two daughters who have not known man'; now I will bring them forth to you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only to these men ye shall not do any thing; for, for this they came in the shadow of my city.
