New Testament

Genesis 19:4-11 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

4. Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Seḏom, both old and young, all the people from every part, surrounded the house.

5. And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, and let us ‘know’ them.”

6. So Lot went out to them through the doorway, and shut the door behind him,

7. and said, “Please, my brothers, do not do evil!

8. “Look, please, I have two daughters who have not known a man. Please, let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you wish, only do no deed to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”

9. But they said, “Stand back!” And they said, “This one came in to sojourn, and should he always judge? Now we are going to treat you worse than them.” So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door.

10. But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.

11. Then they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, and they wearied themselves to find the door.
