Ἤλθον δὲ οἱ δύο ἄγγελοι εἰς Σόδομα ἑσπέρας· Λὼτ δὲ ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν πύλην Σοδόμων. ἰδὼν δὲ Λὼτ ἀνέστη εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ προσεκύνησεν τῷ προσώπῳ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν·

καὶ εἶπεν ἰδού, κύριοι,
ἐκκλίνατε πρὸς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ παιδὸς ὑμῶν καὶ καταλύσατε, καὶ νίψατε τοὺς πόδας ὑμῶν, καὶ ὀρθρίσαντες ἀπελεύσεσθε εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ὑμῶν. εἶπαν δέ οὐχί, ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐν τῇ πλατείᾳ καταλύσοαεν.

καὶ παρεβιόζετο
αὐτούς, καὶ ἐξέκλιναν πρὸς αὐτόν. καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ· ¹² καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς πότον καὶ ἀζύμους ἒπεψεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἔφαγον ³
4 ωρὸ τοῦ κοιμηθῆναι.

καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως οἱ Σοδομεῖται περιεκύκλωσαν τὴν οἰκίαν ἀπὸ νεανίσκου ἕως πρεσβυτέρου, ἅπας ὁ λαὸς
ἅμα.

καὶ ἐξεκαλοῦντο τὸν Λώτ, καὶ ἔλεγον πρὸς αὐτόν Ποῦ εἰσιν οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ εἰσελθόντες πρὸς σὲ τὴν νύκτα; ἐξάγαγε αὐτοὺς πρὸς ἡμᾶς,
ἵνα συγγενώμεθα αὐτοῖς.

ἐξῆλθεν δὲ Λὼτ πρὸς αὐτούς, καὶ τὴν θύραν
προσέῳξεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ.

εἰπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς Μηδαμῶς, ἀδελφοί,
μὴ πονηρεύσησθε.

εἰσὶν δέ μοι δύο θυγατέρες, αἰ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ἄνδρα· ἐξάξω αὐτὰς πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ χρήσασθε αὐταῖς καθὰ ἀρέσκῃ ὑμῖν· μόνον εἰς τοὺς ἄνδρας τούτους μὴ ποιήσητε μηδὲν ἄδικον, οὗ εἵνεκεν εἰσῆλθον
ὑπὸ τὴν στέγην τῶν δοκῶν μου.

εἶπαν δέ Ἀπόστα ἐκεῖ· εἰσῆλθες παροικεῖν, μὴ καὶ κρίσιν κμῖναι; νῦν οὑν σὲ κακώσομεν μᾶλλον ἢ καὶ παρεβιάζοντο τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν Λὼτ σφόδρα, καὶ ἤισαν
τὴν θύραν.

ἐκτείναντες δὲ οἱ ἄνδρες τὰς χεῖρας εἰσεσπάσαντο τὸν Λὼτ πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ τὴν θύραν τοῦ
οἴκου ἀπέκλεισαν·

τοὺς δὲ ἄνδρας τοὺς ὄντας ἐπὶ τῆς θύρας τοῦ οἴκου ἐπάταξαν ἀορασίᾳ, ἀπὸ μικροῦ ἕως μεγάλου· καὶ παρελύθησαν
ζητοῦντες τὴν θύραν.

εἶπαν δὲ οἱ ἄνδρες πρὸς Λώτ Ἔστιν τίς σοι ὧδε, γαμβροὶ ἢ υἱοὶ ἢ θυγατέρες, ἢ εἴ τίς σοι ἅλλος ἐστὶν ἐν τῇ πόλει,
ἐξάγαγε ἐκ τοῦ τόπου τούτου·

ὅτι ἀπόλλυμεν ἡμεῖς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον, ὅτι ὑψώθη ἡ κραυγὴ αὐτῶν ἐναντίον κυρίου, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἡμᾶς
κύριος ἐκτρίψαι αὐτήν.

ἐξῆλθεν δὲ Λὼτ καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς τοὺς γαμβροὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς εἰληφότας τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν Ἀνάστητε καὶ ἐξέλθατε ἐκ τοῦ τόπου τούτου, ὅτι ἐκτρίβει Κύριος τὴν πόλιν.
ἔδοξεν δὲ γελοιάζειν ἐναντίον τῶν γαμβρῶν αὐτοῦ.

ἡνίκα δὲ ὄρθρος ἐγίνετο, ἐπεσπούδαζον οἱ ἄγγελοι τὸν Λὼτ λέγοντες Ἀναστὰς λάβε τὴν γυναῖκά σου καὶ τὰς δύο θυγατέρας σου ἅς ἔχεις καὶ ἔξελθε, ἵν
συναπόλῃ ταῖς ἀνομίαις τῆς πόλεως.

καὶ ἐταράχθησαν· καὶ ἑ ⁴⁵ τησαν οἱ ἄγγελοι τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν καὶ τῆς χειρὸς τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν χειρῶν τῶν δύο θυγατέρων αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῷ φείσασθαι κύριον

καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἐξήγαγον αὐτοὺς ἔξω καὶ εἶπαν Σώζων
ν σεαυτοῦ ψυχήν· μὴ περιβλέψῃς εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω μηδὲ στῇς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ περιχώρῳ· εἰς τὸ ὄρος σώζου, μή ποτε δυνπαραλημφθῇς.

εἶπεν δὲ Λὼτ πρὸς αὐτούς Δέομαι, κύριε,

ἐπειδὴ εἶπεν ὁ παῖς σου

ἔλεος ἐναντίον σου καὶ ἐμεγάλυνας τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου, ὁ ποιεῖς ἐπ’ ἐμὲ τοῦ ζῆν τὴν ψυχήν μου· ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ δυνήσομαι διασωθῆναι εἰς τὸ ὄρος, μὴ καταλάβῃ με τὰ κακὰ καὶ ἀποθάνω·

ἰδοὺ ἡ πόλις αὕτη
ἐγγὺς τοῦ καταφυγεῖν με ἐκεῖ, ἥ ἐστιν μικρά· ἐκεῖ σωθήσομαι· οὐ μικρά ἐστιν ; καὶ ζήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου ἕνεκεν σοῦ.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ
Ἴδου ἐθαύμασά σου τὸ πρόσωπον καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ῥήματι τούτῳ τοῦ μὴ καταστρέψαι τὴν πόλιν περὶ ἧς ἐλάλησας·

σπεῦσου οὖν τοῦ σωθῆναι
ἐκεῖ· οὐ γὰρ δυνήσομαι ποιῆσαι πρᾶγμα ἕως τοῦ σε ἐλθεῖν ἐκεῖ. διὰ τοῦτο ἐπωνόμασεν τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως ἐκείνης Σήγωρ.

ὁ ἥλιος
ἐξῆλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ Λὼτ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Σήγωρ,

καὶ κύριος ἔβρεξεν
ἐπὶ Σόδομα καὶ Γόμορρα θεῖον καὶ πῦρ παρὰ κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ,

καὶ κατέστρεψεν τὰς πόλεις ταύτας ἐν αἷς κατῴκει ἐν αὐταῖς Λὼτ κοὶ
περίοικον καὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν καὶ τὰ ἀνατέλλοντα ἐκ τῆς γῆς.

καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς
D τὰ ὀπίσω, καὶ ἐγένετο στήλη ἁλός.’

ὤρθρισεν δὲ Ἀβραὰμ τὸ πρωὶ
εἰς τὸν τόπον οὗ ἱστήκει ἐναντίον Κυρίου,

καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ
πρόσωπον Σοδόμων καὶ Γομόρρας καὶ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς τῆς περιχείρου, καὶ ἴδεν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνέβαινεν φλὸξ τῆς γῆς ὡσεὶ ἀτμὶς καμίνου.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐκτρίψαι κύριον πάσας τὰς πόλεις
τῆς περιοίκου, ἐμνήσθη ὁ θεὸς τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν τὸν Λὼτ ἐκ μέσου τῆς καταστροφῆς, ἐν τῷ καταστρέψαι κύριον τὰς πόλεις ἐν αἷς κατῴκει ἐν αὐταῖς Λώτ.

Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Λὼτ ἐκ Σήγωρ, καὶ ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ ὄρει καὶ αἱ δύο
⁷ θυγατέρες αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ· ἐφοβήθη γὰρ κατοικῆσαι ἐν Σήγωρ· καὶ ⁸ ᾤκησεν ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ αὐτὸς καὶ αἱ δύο θυγατέρες αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ.

εἶπεν δὲ ἡ πρεσβυτέρα πρὸς τὴν νεωτέραν Ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν πρεσβύτερος, καὶ οὐδείς ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὃς εἰσελεύσεται πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ὡς
καθήκει πάσῃ τῇ γῇ·

δεῦρο οὖν ποτίσωμεν τὸν πατέρα ἡμῶν οἶνον καὶ κοιμηθῶμεν μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξαναστήσωμεν ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν
σπέρμα.

ἐπότισαν δὲ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν οἶνον ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ, καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα ἡ πρεσβυτέρα ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην· καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει ἐν τῷ κοιμηθῆναι αὐτὴν καὶ ἀναστῆναι.

ἐγένετο δὲ τῇ ἐπαύριον καὶ εἶπεν ἡ πρεσβυτέρα πρὸς τὴν νεωτέραν Ἰδοῦ ἐκοιμήθην ἐχθὲς μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν· ποτίσωμεν αὐτὸν οἶνον καὶ τὴν νύκτα ταύτην, καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα κοιμήθητι μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξαναστήσωμεν
ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν σπέρμα.

ἐπότισαν δὲ καὶ ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν οἶνον, καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα ἡ νεωτέρα ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς· καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει ἐν τῷ κοιμηθῆναι αὐτὴν
καὶ ἀναστῆναι.

καὶ συνέλαβον αἱ δύο θυγατέρες Λὼτ ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς
αὐτῶν.

καὶ ἔτεκεν ἡ πρεσβυτέρα υἱόν, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Μωὰβ λέγουσα Ἐκ τοῦ πατρός μου· οὗτος πατὴρ Μωαβιτῶν ἕως τῆς
σήμερον ἡμέρας.

ἔτεκεν δὲ καὶ ἡ νεωτέρα υἱόν, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἀμμάν, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ γένους μου· οὗτος πατὴρ ’ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.

Genesis Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 19 focus

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him.

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

See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and do you to them as is good in your eyes. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.

They said, Stand back! They said, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them! They pressed hard on the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door.

But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.

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.

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:

for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is grown great before Yahweh. Yahweh has sent us to destroy it.

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.

When the morning arose, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, Arise, take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

But he lingered; and the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.

It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, neither stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed!

Lot said to them, Oh, not so, my lord.

See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your lovingkindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.

See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn’t it a little one?), and my soul will live.

He said to him, Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.

Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar .

The sun was risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar .

Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.

He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.

But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.

He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and looked, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.

It happened, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

Lot went up out of Zoar , and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar . He lived in a cave with his two daughters.

The firstborn said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.

Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s seed.

They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.

It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again, tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s seed.

They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger arose, and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.

Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.

The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. The same is the father of the Moabites to this day.

The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. The same is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
