1. Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them he rose up to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground.
2. Then he said, “Here, my lords, please turn in to your servant’s house and spend the night and wash your feet; and then you may rise early and go on your way.”They said, “No, we will stay in the open square all night.”
3. But he strongly insisted, so they turned aside with him and entered his house. Then he made them a feast and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4. Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house.
5. They then called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, so that we may have relations with them.”
6. So Lot went out through the door to them and shut the door behind him.
7. Then he said, “Please, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
8. Look, I have two daughters who have not been with a man. Please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish. Only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.”
