And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, Look, in the tent.

For I have known him, to the end that he may command his sons and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.

I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to its [Sodom's] cry, which has come to me; and if not, I will know.

and he said, Look now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your slave's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and you shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, No; but we will abide in the street all night.

And he urged them greatly; and they turned in to him, and entered into his house; and 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;

and they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that came in to you this night? bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them.

Look now, I have two daughters that haven't had sex with a man; let me, I pray you, bring them out to you, and do to them as is good in your eyes: only to these men do nothing, since they have come under the shadow of my roof.

And they said, Stand back. And they said, This one fellow came in to sojourn and always judges: now we will deal worse with you, than with them. And they pressed intensely on the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door.

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.

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 brought him forth, and set him outside the city.

And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for your life; don't look behind you, neither stay in all the Plain; escape to the mountain, or else you will be consumed.

And they made their father drink wine that night: and the first-born went in, and lay with her father; and he didn't know when she lay down, nor when she arose.

And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he didn't know when she lay down, nor when she arose.

And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place. And they will slay me for my wife's sake.

And Abraham prayed to God. And God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female slaves. And they gave birth.

So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. And Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.

And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it on Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. And they went both of them together.

And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son. So they went both of them together.

And they came to the place which God had told him of. And Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
