And came two gods to Sodom at even; Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; he bowed himself with his face toward the ground.
* They said, No; we will abide in the street all night.*
He pressed upon them greatly; they turned in unto him, entered into his house; he made them a feast, did bake unleavened bread, they did eat.
Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
They called unto Lot, said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
Lot went out at the door unto them, shut the door after him,
Said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
They said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. They pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, came near to break the door.
The gods put forth their hand, pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
They smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
The gods said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.
