He said, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."
[18:31] He said, "See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?"
He said, "I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake."
[18:32] He said, "Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?"
He said, "I will not destroy it for the ten's sake."
[18:33] Yahweh went his way, as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
[19:1] The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth, [19:2] and he said, "See now, my lords, please turn aside into your servant's house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you will rise up early, and go on your way."
They said, "No, but we will stay in the street all night."
[19:3] He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. [19:4] 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. [19:5] They called to Lot, and said to him, "Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them."
[19:6] Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him. [19:7] He said, "Please, my brothers, don't act so wickedly. [19:8] See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don't do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof."
