Genesis 19:2

Sodom’s Depravity

1 Now ^athe two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and ^bLot 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 ^aturn in to your servant’s house and spend the night, and ^bwash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way.” And they said, ^c“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. ^aThen he made them a feast, and baked ^bunleavened 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 ^aAnd they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? ^bBring them out to us that we ^cmay know them carnally.”

turn in, I pray you . . . tarry all night—offer of the same generous hospitalities as described in Genesis 18:2-8, and which are still spontaneously practised in the small towns.

And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night—Where there are no inns and no acquaintance, it is not uncommon for travellers to sleep in the street wrapped up in their cloaks.
