"And they struck those who were outside with blindness, from the least to the greatest, so that they were not able to find the door. "
— Genesis 19:11, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And 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.”
“And 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. ”
“They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.”
“Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, from the youngest to the oldest, with blindness. The men outside wore themselves out trying to find the door.”
“And them, that were without, they struck with blindness from the least to the greatest, so that they could not find the door.”
“But the men who were outside the door they made blind, all of them, small and great, so that they were tired out with looking for the door.”
“And 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.”
I have two daughters who as yet have not known man. I will bring them out to you; abuse them as it pleases you, provided that you do no evil to these men, because they have entered under the shadow of my roof.”
But they said, “Move away from there.” And again: “You have entered,” they said, “as a stranger; should you then judge? Therefore, we will afflict you yourself more than them.” And they acted very violently against Lot. And they were now at the point of breaking open the doors.
And behold, the men put out their hand, and they pulled Lot in to them, and they closed the door.
And they struck those who were outside with blindness, from the least to the greatest, so that they were not able to find the door.
Then they said to Lot: “Do you have here anyone of yours? All who are yours, sons-in-law, or sons, or daughters, bring them out of this city.
For we will eliminate this place, because the outcry among them has increased before the Lord, who sent us to destroy them.”
And so Lot, going out, spoke to his sons-in-law, who were going to receive his daughters, and he said: “Rise up. Depart from this place. For the Lord will destroy this city.” And it seemed to them that he was speaking playfully.
