Genesis 19:3

Read in context

Genesis 19:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Now the two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them, bowed facedown,

2 and said, “My lords, please turn aside into the house of your servant; wash your feet and spend the night. Then you can rise early and go on your way.” “No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.”

3 But Lot insisted so strongly that they followed him into his house. He prepared a feast for them and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house.

5 They called out to Lot, saying, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Send them out to us so we can have relations with them!”
