Genesis 19:5–13

⁵And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we may know^c them.” ⁶But Lot went out to them at the entrance, and he shut the door behind him. ⁷And he said, “No, my brothers, please do not do such a wrong thing. ⁸Behold, I have two daughters who have not known^d a man. Please, let me bring them out to you; then do to them as it seems good in your eyes. Only to these men do not do this thing, since they came under my roof^e for protection.” ⁹But they said, “Step aside!” Then they said, “This fellow^f came to dwell as a foreigner and he acts as a judge! Now we shall do worse to you than them!” And they pressed very hard against the man, against Lot, and they drew near to break the door. ¹⁰Then the men reached out with their hands and brought Lot in to them, into the house, and they shut the door. ¹¹And the men who were at the entrance of the house they struck with blindness, both small and great, and they were unable to find the entrance. ¹²Then the men said to Lot, “Who is here with you? Bring out from the place your sons-in-law, and your sons and your daughters, and all who are with you in the city. ¹³For we are about to destroy this place, because their cry has become great before Yahweh. Yahweh sent us to destroy it.”
