|, Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to
destroy it.
II 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 tno
Lord will destroy this city. But he
seemed as one that Knocked unto his
sons in law.
Is 4 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 in
iquity of the city.
16 And while he fingered. 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.
II . 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 con-
sumed.
Is And Lot said unto them. oh.
not so. my Lord:
16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold.
found grace in thy sight. and thou
hast magnified thy mercy. which
thou hast showed unto me in saw
ing my life: and l cannot escape to
the mountain. lest some evil take
me. and / die:
20 Behold now. this city L. near
to flee unto. and it Is a little one:
O. let ME escape thither. lis IL not
IA little oneC and my soul shall
live.
81 And he said unto him. See. I
have accepted thee concerning this
thing also. that will not over
throw this city. for the which thou
hast spoken.
~ Haste thee. escape thither: for
cannot do anything till thou be
come thither. Therefore the name
of the city was called Zoar.gs
% . The sun was risen upon the
Garth when Lot entered into Zoar.
"a Then the Lord rained upon
Sodom and upon Gomorrah brim-
stone and fire from the Lord out
of heaven:
:5 Apd he overthrew those cities.
and all' the plain. and all the in
habitants Of the cities. and tina,
which grew upon the ground.
26 7 But his wife looked back
from behind him. and she became
pillar of salt.
"a And Abraham gat up carly
IN the morning to the place where
he stood before the Lord:
2s And he looked toward Sodom
and Gomorrah. and toward all the
land Of the plain. and beheld. and.
10. the smoke of the country went
up as the smoke of a furnace.
80 Y And it came to pass. when
God destroyed the cities of the
/ plain. that God remembered Abra-
ham. and sent Lot out of the midst
of the overthrow. when he over
threw the cities in the which Lot
! dwrlt.
so And Lot went I'D 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.
81 And the firstborn said unto
the younger. Our father is old. ana
there In not a man in the earth to
come in unto us after the manner of
all the Garth:
80 Come. let us make our father
drink wine. and We will lie with
him. that we may preserve seed OF
our father.
SO And they made their father
drink wine that night: and the first
born went in. and lay with her fa-
ther: and he perceived not when
she lay down. nor when she arose
"a And it came to pass on the
morrow. that the firstborn said unto
the younger, Behold. l lay yester-
night with my father: let us max.
him drink wine this night also; and
go thou in. and lie with him. tnat
we may preserve seed of our father.
80 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
Sc Thus were both the dauCh-
ters OF Lot with child by their
father
81 And the firstborn bare a son.
and called his name Moab: the same
Is the father of the Moabites unto
this day.
3S And the younger. she also
bare son. and called his name
BENJAMIN.: the same Is the father
Of the children of Ammon unto this
day.
