Genesis 19:7

Verse 7 of 38. The 19th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

3He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

4But 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.

5They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them.”

6Lot went out to them through the door, and shut the door after himself.

7He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.

8See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”

9They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now we will deal worse with you than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot, and came near to break the door.

10But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.

11They 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.
