Genesis 19 — Context

4

Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter;

5

and they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them."

6

But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him,

7

and said, "Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly.

8

"Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof."

9

But they said, "Stand aside." Furthermore, they said, "This one came in as an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them." So they pressed hard against Lot and came near to break the door.

10

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