The two angels came to Sedom in the evening, while Lot was sitting at the gate of Sedom. Lot saw them, and he got up to greet them, and he bowed with his face to the ground.

And there came two angels to Sedom at evening, and Lot sat in the gate of Sedom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face to the ground;

And the two angels, [one to destroy Sodom; the other, to save Lot,] came to Sodom in the evening. And Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom [having that day been appointed as a judge.] And Lot saw and he arose towards them, and he bowed down with his face to the ground.

He said, Behold now my lords, please turn in to your servant’s house. Stay over night, bathe your feet, and get up early and continue on your way. They said, No, we will spend the night in the street.

and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and you may rise up early, and go your ways. And they said, No; but we will abide in the street all night.

And he said: Behold, now, my lords: Turn, now, [by a side-path so that you not be noticed] to the house of your servant, and sleep over and wash your feet, [afterwards, so that the men of Sodom think you to be recently arrived, and not fault me for having hidden you from them], and rise early and go on your way. And they said: No, but we will sleep over in the street.

He urged them greatly, and they turned in to him and came to his house. He made a feast for them, and baked matzos, and they ate.

And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in to him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

And he greatly implored them, and they turned aside to him and they came to his house. And he made a feast for them, and he baked matzoth, [it being Pesach], and they ate.

They had not yet lain down when the men of the city, the men of Sedom, surrounded the house—young and old alike—all the people from one end [of the city] to the other end.

But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sedom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

They had not yet lain down, when the people of the city, the people of Sodom [i.e., evildoers], surrounded the house, from young to old — all of the people, from [one] end [of the city to the other (i.e., none protesting)].

They called to Lot and said to him, Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them.

and they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men who came in to thee this night? bring them out to us, that we may know them.

And they called to Lot and they said to him: Where are the men who came to you this night? Bring them out to us that we may know [i.e., cohabit with] them.

Lot went out to them in front of the entrance, shutting the door behind him.

And Lot went out at the door to them, and shut the door after him,

And Lot went out to them at the door and he closed the door behind him.

He said, My brothers, please do not act wickedly.

And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

And he said: Do not, I pray you, my brothers, do ill.

Behold! I have two daughters who have never known a man, I will bring them out to you, and do with them as you please; only do nothing to these men, since after all, they came under the shelter of my roof.

Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do to them as is good in your eyes: only to these men do nothing; seeing that they have come under the shadow of my roof.

Behold, now, I have two daughters who have not known a man. Let me take them out now to you, and do to them as you wish. But to these men do not do anything; for therefore have they come under the shade of my roof.

They said, Step back out of the way! They said, This one came as an immigrant, and now he wants to be a judge. We will now deal worse with you than with them. They pushed hard against Lot, and came near to break the door.

And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee than with them. And they strongly urged the man, Lot, and came near to break the door.

And they said [in respect to his offering his daughters]: "Betake yourself." And they said [in respect to his shielding of the angels]: The one [Lot] came to sojourn and he would be a judge! Now we shall harm you more than them! And they pressed upon the man, Lot, and they drew near to break down the door.

The men put out their hands, and pulled Lot to them, into the house, and closed the door.

But the men put out their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.

And the men sent forth their hands and they brought Lot unto them into the house, and they shut the door.

The men who were at the entrance of the house, they struck with blindness—young and old alike—so that they wearied themselves trying to find the entrance.

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.

And the men at the entrance of the house they smote with blindness, from small, [who had initiated the transgression (19:4)], to great, and they wearied themselves to find the entrance.

The men said to Lot, Who else do you have here—a son-in-law, your sons, your daughters? Whoever you have in the city, bring them out of his place.

And the men said to Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:

And the men said to Lot: Who else [besides your wife and your daughters at home] do you have here? [(If you have)] a son-in-law, or your sons [from your married daughters] and your daughters, and all that you have in the city — take it from the place.

We are going to destroy this place, for the wailing concerning them has become great in the presence of Adonoy; and Adonoy has sent us to destroy it.

for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them has grown great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.

For we are going to destroy this place. For their outcry has grown great before the L-rd and the L-rd has sent us to destroy it.

Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law who had married his daughters. He said [to them], Get up! Get out of this place, for Adonoy is going to destroy the city! He appeared as a comedian in the eyes of his sons-in-law.

And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law, who married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy the city. But he seemed to his sons in law as one that jested.

And Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law [(He had two married daughters in the city)] [and to] the takers of his daughters [i.e., the men to whom his two daughters at home were betrothed], and he said: Arise, go out of this place; for the L-rd is going to destroy the city. And he was as a jester in the eyes of his sons-in-law.

At the break of dawn, the angels urged Lot on, saying, Get up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the iniquity of the city.

And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, who are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

And when the morning star rose [see 24], the angels rushed Lot, saying: Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are found [at home], lest you perish in the sin of the city.

He hesitated, and the men grabbed his hand and the hand of his wife and two daughters, for Adonoy had pity on him. They brought him out and placed him outside the city.

And while he lingered, 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 to him: and they brought him out, and set him outside the city.

And he lingered [to save his wealth], and the men took hold of his hand, and the hand of his wife, and the hand of his two daughters, in the L-rd's mercy upon him, and they took him out, and they placed him outside the city.

When they were brought out [of the city], he [the angel] said, Escape for your life! Do not look back! Do not remain anywhere in the valley. Escape to the mountain, lest you be swept away.

And it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, 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 consumed.

And it was, when they took them outside, that he [the angel deputed to save Lot] said: Escape with your life [and give no heed to your wealth]. Do not look behind you [at the destruction of Sodom, when you yourself are being saved.] And do not stand in the entire plain [of the Jordan]. Escape to the mountain [i.e., to Abraham, who dwells on the mountain (12:8)], lest you perish.

Lot said to them, Please, not so my Master.

And Lot said to them, Oh, not so, my Lord:

And Lot said to them: Do not [urge me to escape to the mountain], I pray You, O L-rd —

Behold your servant has found favor in Your eyes. Great is your kindness that you have done with me, to keep me alive. I cannot escape to the mountain, lest the evil attach itself to me and I die.

behold now, thy servant has found favour in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shown to me in saving my life; I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:

Behold, now, Your servant has found favor in Your eyes, and You have magnified Your lovingkindness which You did with me to keep my soul alive. I cannot escape to the mountain lest evil be imputed to me [relative to the righteousness of Abraham], and I die.

Behold, please, this city is near [enough] to flee there. It is insignificant. Let me escape there! It is insignificant, and my life will be saved.

behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape there, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

Behold, now, this city is close by to flee there, and it is small, [with few people, so that it may be spared]. Let me escape there, I pray You — Is it not small? [so that it may be spared], and my soul will live.

He said to him, See I have also given you consideration regarding this. I will not overturn the city that you mentioned.

And he said to him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for which thou hast spoken.

And He said to him: I have granted you favor also for this thing [(that the entire city be saved for your sake)], not to overthrow the city of which you spoke.

Hurry, escape there, for I can do nothing until you get there. The city was therefore called Zoar.

Haste thee, escape there; for I cannot do anything till thou be come there. Therefore the name of the city was called Żo῾ar.

Hurry, escape there. For I shall not be able to do anything until you come there. For this reason [i.e., that it is small (mitzar)], the city is called Tzoar.

The sun had risen upon the earth, when Lot came to Zoar.

The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Żo῾ar.

The sun rose upon the earth and Lot came to Tzoar.

Adonoy caused to rain upon Sedom and Amorah—sulfur and fire—from Adonoy, from heaven.

Then the Lord rained upon Sedom and upon ῾Amora brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;

And the L-rd [He and His beth-din] had rained down upon Sodom and Amorah [when the morning star had risen (15), (when both sun and moon were in the heavens, so that no opening be given to sun or moon worshippers to attribute the destruction to the absence of their deity) rain which changed to] brimstone and fire, from the L-rd, from the heavens [the source of judgment].

He overturned these cities, and the entire plain, and all those who lived in the cities and all that grew upon the ground.

and He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

And He overturned these cities [(the four were situated on one rock, which He overturned] and the entire plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and the growth of the ground.

His [Lot’s] wife looked behind him; and she became a pillar of salt.

But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

And his wife looked from [i.e., when she was] behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

Avraham got up early in morning [to return] to the place where he had stood before the Presence of Adonoy.

And Avraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord:

And Abraham arose early in the morning (to go) to the place where he had stood before the L-rd.

He [Avraham] stared at Sedom and Amorah, and the whole land of the plain, and he saw the heavy smoke rising from the earth like the smoke of a furnace.

and he looked toward Sedom and ῾Amora, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up like the smoke of a furnace.

And he looked out upon Sodom and Amorah and upon all the land of the plain, and he saw, and, behold, the smoke-column of the land rose as the smoke-column of a limekiln.

When Elohim destroyed the cities of the plain; Elohim remembered Avraham, and He sent Lot out of the upheaval when He overturned the cities in which Lot had lived.

And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Avraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.

And it was, when G-d destroyed the cities of the plain, that G-d remembered Abraham, and He sent Lot from the midst of the overturning, when He overturned the cities where Lot dwelt.

Lot went up from Zoar and lived in the mountain; and his two daughters went with him, for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave, he and his two daughters.

And Lot went up out of Żo῾ar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Żo῾ar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

And Lot went up from Tzoar and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he was afraid to dwell in Tzoar, [it being too close to Sodom], and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

The older girl said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is no man [left] on earth who will come into us in the normal manner.

And the firstborn said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth:

And the elder said to the younger: Our father is old [and "if not now, when?"], and there is no man to cohabit with us in the way of all the land. [They assumed that all had perished as in the time of the flood.]

Come let us urge our father to drink wine, and sleep with him; that we may give life to seed [children] from our father.

come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

Let us go and make our father drink wine and let us live with him and let us bring our father's seed to life.

They urged wine upon their father that night; and the older girl went in and slept with her father. He was not aware that she lay down or got up.

And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

And they made their father drink wine that night [(Wine was "readied" for them in the cave for the bringing forth of two nations)]. And the elder came and lay with her father, and he did not know in her lying and in her rising.

The next day, the older girl said to the younger, Last night I slept with my father. Let us urge wine upon him tonight also, and you go in and sleep with him that we may give life to seed from our father.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said to the younger, Behold, I lay last night with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

And it was on the morrow, that the elder said to the younger: I lay yesterday with my father. Let us give him wine to drink this night, too; and come, lie with him, and we will bring our father's seed to life.

That night also, they urged their father [to drink] wine. The younger went up and slept with him, and he was not aware that she lay down or got up.

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.

And they gave their father wine to drink on that night, too. And the younger arose and lay with him. And he did not know, in her lying down or in her getting up.

Lot’s two daughters became pregnant from their father.

Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

And the two daughters of Lot conceived from their father.

The older girl gave birth to a son and she named him Moav. He is the ancestor of the Moabite nation even to this day.

And the firstborn bore a son, and called his name Mo᾽av: he is the father of Mo᾽av to this day.

And the elder bore a son, and she called him Moav (lit., "from the father"). He is the father of Moav until this day.

The younger girl also gave birth to a son, and she named him Ben-Ami. He is the ancestor of the people of Ammon even to this day.

And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-῾ammi: he is the father of the children of ῾Ammon to this day.

And the younger — she, too, bore a son, and she called him Ben-Ami (lit., "son of my people"). He is the father of the sons of Ammon until this day.
