    1And at nightfall the two angels came to Sodom; and Lot was seated at the way into the town: and when he saw them he got up and came before them, falling down on his face to the earth.

    2And he said, My masters, come now into your servant's house and take your rest there for the night, and let your feet be washed; and early in the morning you may go on your way. And they said, Not so, but we will take our night's rest in the street.

    3But he made his request more strongly, so they went with him into his house; and he got food ready for them, and made unleavened bread, of which they took.

    6And Lot went out to them in the doorway, shutting the door after him.

    7And he said, My brothers, do not this evil.

    8See now, I have two unmarried daughters; I will send them out to you so that you may do to them whatever seems good to you: only do nothing to these men, for this is why they have come under the shade of my roof.

    10But the men put out their hands and took Lot into the house to them, shutting the door again.
