5. They called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to your house tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have sexual relations with them.”
6. Lot went out to meet them at the entrance. When he had shut the door behind him,
7. he said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not do this wicked thing!
8. I have two daughters who have never had sexual relations with men. Let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you please. But do not do anything to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.”
9. They replied, “Stand back! This man,” they said, “came here as a resident alien, and now he dares to give orders! We will treat you worse than them!” With that, they pressed hard against Lot, moving in closer to break down the door.
10. But his guests put out their hands, pulled Lot inside with them, and closed the door;
11. they struck the men at the entrance of the house, small and great, with such a blinding light that they were utterly unable to find the doorway.
