Genesis 19:22-38 ▼

22 Hasten, to escape there, for I shall not be able to do the word till thy coming there: for this the name of the city was called Zoar.

23 The sun came forth upon the earth, and Lot came to Zoar.

24 And Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah, sulphur and fire from Jehovah out of the heavens.

25 And he will overturn these cities, and all the circuit, and all inhabiting the cities, and the sprouting of the earth.

26 And his wife will look hack from behind him, and will become a pillar of salt.

27 And Abraham will rise early in the morning to the place in which he stood there by the face of Jehovah.

28 And he will look out upon the face of Sodom and Gomorrah and upon all the face of the earth of the circuit, and he will see, and behold the smoke of the earth ascended as the smoke of a furnace.

29 And it shall be in God's destroying the cities of the circuit, and God will remember Abraham, and he will send forth Lot out of the midst of the overthrow in overthrowing the cities in which Lot dwelt in them.

30 And Lot will go up from Zoar and will dwell in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he will fear to dwell in Zoar; and he will dwell in a cave, he and his two daughters.

31 And the first-born will say to the small, our father has become old, and not a man in the earth to come in to us according to the way of all the earth:

32 Come, we will give to our father wine to drink, and we will lie down with him, and we shall preserve alive seed from our father.

33 And they will give their father wine to drink in that night, and the first-born will go in and will lie down with her father; and he will not know in her lying down, and in her rising up.

34 And it shall be on the morrow, and the first-born will say to the small, Behold, I lay down yesterday with my father: we will also give him wine to drink this night; and go thou, lie down with him, and we shall preserve alive seed from our father.

35 And they will give their father wine to drink also in that night, and the small will arise and will he down with him, and he will not know in her lying down and her rising up.

36 And the two daughters of Lot will conceive by their father.

37 And the first-born will bring forth a son, and she will call his name Moab: this the father of Moab till this day.

38 And the small also, she will bring forth a son, and she will call his name the son of my people: this the father of the sons of Ammon till this day.
