Genesis 19:6-11 ▼

6 Lot went out to them at the entrance and shut the door behind him.

7 He said, “Don’t do this evil, my brothers.

8 Look, I’ve got two daughters who haven’t been intimate with a man. I’ll bring them out to you, and you can do whatever you want to them. However, don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the protection of my roof.”

9 “Get out of the way! ” they said, adding, “This one came here as an alien, but he’s acting like a judge! Now we’ll do more harm to you than to them.” They put pressure on Lot and came up to break down the door.

10 But the angels reached out, brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.

11 They struck the men who were at the entrance of the house, both young and old, with blindness so that they were unable to find the entrance.
