Corrupción de Sodoma
19 Los dos ángeles llegaron a Sodoma(A) al caer la tarde, cuando Lot estaba sentado a la puerta de Sodoma. Al verlos, Lot se levantó para recibirlos y se postró rostro en tierra(B), 2 y les dijo: «Señores míos, les ruego que entren en[a] la casa de su siervo y pasen en ella la noche y laven sus pies. Entonces se levantarán temprano y continuarán su camino». «No», dijeron ellos, «sino que pasaremos la noche en la plaza». 3 Él, sin embargo, les rogó con insistencia, y ellos fueron con[b] él y entraron en su casa. Lot les preparó un banquete y coció pan sin levadura, y comieron(C).
4 Aún no se habían acostado, cuando los hombres de la ciudad, los hombres de Sodoma(D), rodearon la casa, tanto jóvenes como viejos, todo el pueblo sin excepción[c]. 5 Y llamaron a Lot, y le dijeron: «¿Dónde están los hombres que vinieron a ti esta noche? Sácalos[d] para que los conozcamos[e](E)».
6 Entonces Lot salió a ellos a la entrada, y cerró la puerta tras sí, 7 «Hermanos míos, les ruego que no obren perversamente», les dijo Lot. 8 «Miren, tengo dos hijas que no han conocido varón. Permítanme sacarlas a ustedes y hagan con ellas como mejor les parezca[f]. Pero no hagan nada a estos hombres(F), pues se han amparado bajo[g] mi techo».
9 «¡Hazte a un lado!», dijeron ellos. Y dijeron además: «Este ha venido como extranjero[h], y ya está actuando como juez(G); ahora te trataremos a ti peor que a ellos». Se lanzaron contra Lot[i] y estaban a punto de romper la puerta, 10 pero los dos hombres[j](H) extendieron la mano y metieron a Lot en la casa con[k] ellos, y cerraron la puerta.
11 Y a los hombres que estaban a la entrada de la casa los hirieron con ceguera(I) desde el menor hasta el mayor, de manera que se cansaban tratando de hallar la entrada.
Lot huye de Sodoma
12 Entonces los dos hombres dijeron a Lot: «¿A quién más tienes aquí? A tus yernos, a tus hijos, a tus hijas y quienquiera que tengas en la ciudad, sácalos de este lugar. 13 Porque vamos a destruir este lugar, pues su clamor ha llegado a ser tan grande delante del Señor(J), que el Señor nos ha enviado a destruirlo(K)».
14 Lot salió y habló a sus yernos que iban a casarse con[l] sus hijas, y dijo: «Levántense, salgan de este lugar porque el Señor destruirá la ciudad(L)». Pero a sus yernos les pareció que[m] bromeaba(M).
15 Al amanecer, los ángeles apremiaban a Lot, diciendo: «Levántate, toma a tu mujer y a tus dos hijas que están aquí, para que no sean destruidos en el castigo[n] de la ciudad». 16 Pero él titubeaba. Entonces los dos hombres los tomaron de la mano(N), a él, y a su mujer y a sus dos hijas, porque[o] la compasión del Señor estaba sobre él(O). Los sacaron y los pusieron fuera de la ciudad.
17 Cuando los habían llevado fuera, uno le dijo: «Huye por tu vida(P). No mires detrás de ti(Q) y no te detengas en ninguna parte del valle[p](R). Escapa al monte(S), no sea que perezcas[q]». 18 «No, por favor, señores míos», les dijo Lot. 19 «Ahora tu siervo ha hallado gracia ante tus ojos, y has engrandecido tu misericordia la cual me has mostrado salvándome la vida. Pero no puedo escapar al monte, no sea que el desastre me alcance, y muera. 20 Mira, esta ciudad está bastante cerca para huir a ella, y es pequeña. Te ruego que me dejes huir allá (¿acaso no es pequeña?) para salvar mi vida[r]». 21 Y él le respondió: «Bien, te concedo también esta petición[s] de no destruir la ciudad de que has hablado. 22 Date prisa, escapa allá, porque nada puedo hacer hasta que llegues allí». Por eso el nombre que se le puso a la ciudad fue Zoar[t](T).
Destrucción de Sodoma y Gomorra
23 El sol había salido sobre la tierra cuando Lot llegó a Zoar. 24 Entonces el Señor hizo llover azufre y fuego sobre Sodoma y Gomorra, de parte del Señor desde los cielos(U). 25 Él destruyó aquellas ciudades(V) y todo el valle[u] y todos los habitantes de las ciudades y todo lo que crecía en la tierra. 26 Pero la mujer de Lot[v], que iba tras él, miró hacia atrás(W) y se convirtió en una columna de sal.
27 Abraham se levantó muy de mañana, y fue al sitio donde había estado delante del Señor(X). 28 Dirigió la vista hacia Sodoma y Gomorra y hacia toda la tierra del valle y miró; y el humo ascendía de la tierra como el humo de un horno(Y). 29 Pero cuando Dios destruyó las ciudades del valle, se acordó de Abraham(Z) e hizo salir[w] a Lot de en medio de la destrucción(AA), cuando destruyó las ciudades donde había habitado Lot.
Moab y Amón
30 Lot subió de Zoar y habitó en los montes[x](AB), y sus dos hijas con él, pues tenía miedo de quedarse[y] en Zoar. Y habitó en una cueva, él y sus dos hijas. 31 Entonces la mayor dijo a la menor: «Nuestro padre es viejo y no hay ningún hombre en el país que se llegue a nosotras(AC) según la costumbre de toda la tierra. 32 Ven, hagamos que beba vino nuestro padre(AD), y acostémonos con él para preservar nuestra familia por medio[z] de nuestro padre». 33 Aquella noche hicieron que su padre bebiera vino, y la mayor entró y se acostó con su padre, y él no supo cuando ella se acostó ni cuando se levantó.
34 Al día siguiente la mayor dijo a la menor: «Mira, anoche yo me acosté con mi padre. Hagamos que beba vino esta noche también, y entonces entra tú y acuéstate con él, para preservar nuestra familia por medio[aa] de nuestro padre». 35 De manera que también aquella noche hicieron que su padre bebiera vino, y la menor se levantó y se acostó con él, y él no supo cuando ella se acostó ni cuando se levantó. 36 Así las dos hijas de Lot concibieron de su padre.
37 Y la mayor dio a luz un hijo, y lo llamó Moab(AE). Él es el padre de los moabitas hasta hoy. 38 En cuanto a la menor, también ella dio a luz un hijo, y lo llamó Ben-Ammi. Él es el padre de los amonitas[ab](AF) hasta hoy.

Destrucción de Sodoma y Gomorra
19 Caía la tarde cuando los dos ángeles llegaron a Sodoma. Lot estaba sentado a la entrada de la ciudad. Al verlos, se levantó para recibirlos y se postró rostro en tierra. 2 Dijo:
—Por favor, señores, les ruego que pasen la noche en la casa de este servidor suyo. Allí podrán lavarse los pies y mañana al amanecer seguirán su camino.
—No, gracias —respondieron ellos—. Pasaremos la noche en la plaza.
3 Pero tanto les insistió que fueron con él y entraron en su casa. Allí Lot preparó una buena comida, les hizo panes sin levadura y ellos comieron.
4 Aún no se habían acostado cuando los hombres de la ciudad de Sodoma rodearon la casa. Todo el pueblo sin excepción, tanto jóvenes como ancianos, estaba allí presente. 5 Llamaron a Lot y le dijeron:
—¿Dónde están los hombres que vinieron a pasar la noche en tu casa? ¡Échalos afuera! ¡Queremos tener relaciones sexuales con ellos!
6 Lot salió a la puerta y, cerrándola detrás de sí, 7 les dijo:
—Por favor, amigos míos, no cometan tal perversidad. 8 Tengo dos hijas que todavía son vírgenes; voy a traérselas para que hagan con ellas lo que les plazca, pero a estos hombres no les hagan nada, pues han venido a hospedarse bajo mi techo.
9 —¡Quítate de ahí! —le contestaron, y añadieron—: Este ni siquiera es de aquí y ahora nos quiere mandar. ¡Pues ahora te vamos a tratar peor que a ellos!
Entonces se lanzaron contra Lot y se acercaron a la puerta con intenciones de derribarla.
10 Pero los dos hombres extendieron los brazos, metieron a Lot en la casa y cerraron la puerta. 11 Luego, a los jóvenes y ancianos que se agolparon contra la puerta de la casa los dejaron ciegos, de modo que ya no podían encontrar la puerta. 12 Luego dijeron a Lot:
—¿Tienes otros familiares aquí? Saca de esta ciudad a tus yernos, hijos, hijas y a todos los que te pertenezcan 13 porque vamos a destruirla. El clamor contra esta gente ha llegado hasta el Señor y ya resulta insoportable. Por eso nos ha enviado a destruirla.
14 Lot salió para hablar con sus futuros yernos, es decir, con los prometidos de sus hijas.
—¡Apúrense! —les dijo—. ¡Abandonen la ciudad porque el Señor está por destruirla!
Pero ellos creían que Lot estaba bromeando, 15 así que al amanecer los ángeles le insistieron a Lot. Exclamaron:
—¡Apúrate! Llévate a tu esposa y a tus dos hijas que están aquí, para que no sean destruidos cuando la ciudad sea castigada.
16 Como Lot titubeaba, los hombres lo tomaron de la mano, lo mismo que a su esposa y a sus dos hijas, y los sacaron de la ciudad porque el Señor les tuvo compasión. 17 Cuando ya los habían sacado de la ciudad, uno de los ángeles le dijo:
—¡Escápate! No mires hacia atrás ni te detengas en ninguna parte del valle. Huye hacia las montañas, no sea que perezcas.
18 —¡No, señores míos, por favor! —respondió Lot—. 19 Ustedes han sido muy buenos con este siervo suyo y su bondad ha sido grande al salvarme la vida. Pero yo no puedo escaparme a las montañas, no sea que la destrucción me alcance y pierda yo la vida. 20 Cerca de aquí hay una ciudad pequeña, en la que podría refugiarme. ¿Por qué no dejan que me escape hacia allá? Es una ciudad muy pequeña y en ella me pondré a salvo.
21 —Está bien —respondió uno de ellos—; también esta petición te la concederé. No destruiré la ciudad de que hablas. 22 Pero ¡date prisa! y huye de una vez, porque no puedo hacer nada hasta que llegues allí.
Por eso aquella ciudad recibió el nombre de Zoar.[a]
23 Lot llegó a Zoar cuando estaba amaneciendo. 24 Entonces el Señor hizo que cayera del cielo una lluvia de fuego y azufre sobre Sodoma y Gomorra. 25 Así destruyó a esas ciudades y a todos sus habitantes, junto con todo el valle y la vegetación del suelo. 26 Pero la esposa de Lot miró hacia atrás y se quedó convertida en estatua de sal.
27 Al día siguiente, Abraham madrugó y regresó al lugar donde se había encontrado con el Señor. 28 Volvió la mirada hacia Sodoma y Gomorra, y hacia toda la llanura, y vio que de la tierra subía humo, como de un horno.
29 Así arrasó Dios a las ciudades de la llanura, pero se acordó de Abraham y sacó a Lot de en medio de la catástrofe que destruyó a las ciudades en que había habitado.
Lot y sus hijas
30 Luego, por miedo a quedarse en Zoar, Lot se fue con sus dos hijas a vivir en la región montañosa. Allí vivió con ellas en una cueva. 31 Un día, la hija mayor dijo a la menor:
—Nuestro padre ya está viejo y no quedan hombres en esta región para que se acuesten con nosotras y nos den hijos, como es la costumbre de todo el mundo. 32 Ven, vamos a emborracharlo con vino. Nos acostaremos con él y así por medio de él tendremos descendencia.
33 Esa misma noche emborracharon a su padre y, sin que este se diera cuenta de nada, la hija mayor fue y se acostó con él. 34 A la mañana siguiente, la mayor dijo a la menor:
—Mira, anoche me acosté con mi padre. Vamos a emborracharlo de nuevo esta noche y ahora tú te acostarás con él; y así por medio de él tendremos descendencia.
35 Esa misma noche volvieron a emborrachar a su padre y, sin que este se diera cuenta de nada, la hija menor fue y se acostó con él.
36 Así las dos hijas de Lot quedaron embarazadas de su padre. 37 La mayor tuvo un hijo, a quien llamó Moab,[b] padre de los actuales moabitas. 38 La hija menor también tuvo un hijo, a quien llamó Ben Amí,[c] padre de los actuales amonitas.

Genesis 19
King James Version
19 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it.
14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:
28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 And it came to pass, 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 the which Lot dwelt.
30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed
19 The two angels(A) arrived at Sodom(B) in the evening, and Lot(C) was sitting in the gateway of the city.(D) When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground.(E) 2 “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet(F) and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.”
“No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.”(G)
3 But he insisted(H) so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house.(I) He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast,(J) and they ate.(K) 4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom(L)—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”(M)
6 Lot went outside to meet them(N) and shut the door behind him 7 and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”(O)
9 “Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner,(P) and now he wants to play the judge!(Q) We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
10 But the men(R) inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. 11 Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness(S) so that they could not find the door.
12 The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you?(T) Get them out of here, 13 because we(U) are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great(V) that he has sent us to destroy it.”(W)
14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry[a] his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the Lord is about to destroy the city!(X)” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.(Y)
15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away(Z) when the city is punished.(AA)”
16 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters(AB) and led them safely out of the city, for the Lord was merciful to them.(AC) 17 As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives!(AD) Don’t look back,(AE) and don’t stop anywhere in the plain!(AF) Flee to the mountains(AG) or you will be swept away!”
18 But Lot said to them, “No, my lords,[b] please! 19 Your[c] servant has found favor in your[d] eyes,(AH) and you[e] have shown great kindness(AI) to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains;(AJ) this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. 20 Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.”
21 He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request(AK) too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. 22 But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.[f](AL))
23 By the time Lot reached Zoar,(AM) the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur(AN) on Sodom and Gomorrah(AO)—from the Lord out of the heavens.(AP) 25 Thus he overthrew those cities(AQ) and the entire plain,(AR) destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land.(AS) 26 But Lot’s wife looked back,(AT) and she became a pillar of salt.(AU)
27 Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord.(AV) 28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.(AW)
29 So when God destroyed the cities of the plain,(AX) he remembered(AY) Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe(AZ) that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.(BA)
Lot and His Daughters
30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar(BB) and settled in the mountains,(BC) for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line(BD) through our father.”(BE)
33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.(BF)
34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.”(BG) 35 So they got their father to drink wine(BH) that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.(BI)
36 So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.(BJ) 37 The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab[g];(BK) he is the father of the Moabites(BL) of today. 38 The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi[h]; he is the father of the Ammonites[i](BM) of today.

Sodom’s Depravity
19 Now (A)the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and (B)Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. 2 And he said, “Here now, my lords, please (C)turn in to your servant’s house and spend the night, and (D)wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way.”
And they said, (E)“No, but we will spend the night in the open square.”
3 But he insisted strongly; so they turned in to him and entered his house. (F)Then he made them a feast, and baked (G)unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 (H)And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? (I)Bring them out to us that we (J)may know them carnally.”
6 So (K)Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, 7 and said, “Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly! 8 (L)See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, (M)since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
9 And they said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one (N)came in to [a]stay here, (O)and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them.” So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door. 10 But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. 11 And they (P)struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door.
Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed(Q)
12 Then the men said to Lot, “Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city—(R)take them out of this place! 13 For we will destroy this place, because the (S)outcry against them has grown great before the face of the Lord, and (T)the Lord has sent us to destroy it.”
14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, (U)who had married his daughters, and said, (V)“Get up, get out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city!” (W)But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.
15 When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, (X)“Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city.” 16 And while he lingered, the men (Y)took hold of his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the (Z)Lord being merciful to him, (AA)and they brought him out and set him outside the city. 17 So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that [b]he said, (AB)“Escape for your life! (AC)Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape (AD)to the mountains, lest you be [c]destroyed.”
18 Then Lot said to them, “Please, (AE)no, my lords! 19 Indeed now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have increased your mercy which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, lest some evil overtake me and I die. 20 See now, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one; please let me escape there (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.”
21 And he said to him, “See, (AF)I have favored you concerning this thing also, in that I will not overthrow this city for which you have spoken. 22 Hurry, escape there. For (AG)I cannot do anything until you arrive there.”
Therefore (AH)the name of the city was called [d]Zoar.
23 The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered Zoar. 24 Then the Lord rained (AI)brimstone and (AJ)fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 So He [e]overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and (AK)what grew on the ground.
26 But his wife looked back behind him, and she became (AL)a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where (AM)he had stood before the Lord. 28 Then he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, (AN)the smoke of the land which went up like the smoke of a furnace. 29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God (AO)remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.
The Descendants of Lot
30 Then Lot went up out of Zoar and (AP)dwelt in the mountains, and his two daughters were with him; for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar. And he and his two daughters dwelt in a cave. 31 Now the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man on the earth (AQ)to come in to us as is the custom of all the earth. 32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we (AR)may preserve the [f]lineage of our father.” 33 So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
34 It happened on the next day that the firstborn said to the younger, “Indeed I lay with my father last night; let us make him drink wine tonight also, and you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve the [g]lineage of our father.” 35 Then they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
36 Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father. 37 The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab; (AS)he is the father of the Moabites to this day. 38 And the younger, she also bore a son and called his name Ben-Ammi; (AT)he is the father of the people of Ammon to this day.
