What if ten are found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the ten's sake." 018:033 Yahweh went his way, as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place. 019:001 The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth, 019:002 and he said, "See now, my lords, please turn aside into your servant's house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you will rise up early, and go on your way." They said, "No, but we will stay in the street all night." 019:003 He 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. 019:004 But 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. 019:005 They 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." 019:006 Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him. 019:007 He said, "Please, my brothers, don't act so wickedly. 019:008 See 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." 019:009 They said, "Stand back!"

They pressed hard on the man Lot, and drew near to break the door. 019:010 But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. 019:011 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. 019:012 The men said to Lot, "Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, bring them out of the place: 019:013 for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it." 019:014 Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, "Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking. 019:015 When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, "Get up! Take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city." 019:016 But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife's hand, and his two daughters' hands, Yahweh being merciful to him;
