The patriarch intercedes for Lot.
Beseeches Him to “temper His ire,” and then departs weeping for sorrow.
[X.]
God’s messengers go to Sodom.
Lot is sitting alone at the “door of his lodge.”
Staring into the street he sees two men.
Beardless chins they had, and hair like raw silk.
Beautifully white were their weeds.
Lot runs to meet them.
Invites them to remain awhile in his house, and in the morning they may take their way.
