And therecame two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeingthemrose up to meetthem; and he bowedhimselfwith his facetoward the ground;
And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, intoyourservant’shouse, and tarry all night, and washyourfeet, and ye shallrise up early, and go on yourways. And theysaid, Nay; but we willabide in the street all night.

Behold now, I have two daughterswhichhave not known man; let me, I pray you, bringthem out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in youreyes: onlyuntothese men do nothing; for thereforecametheyunder the shadow of my roof.

And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughterswith him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
