And the men faid unto Lot ; Haff thon here any befrdes fonnes-in -law, or thy fonnes or thy daughters , or any that thou haft in the Citie : bring-out, from rhk place. For we roil/ deftroy this place be- caufe the cry of them is wexen- great,before the face of Jehovah ; and Jehovah bath fent us to deftroy ir. And Lot went out,and fpake unto his fonnes-in-law , that were taking his daughters; and he faid,rife -up go -out, from this place : for Jehovah will deftroy the Ci- tie : but he was as one-that- mocked, in the eyes of his fonnes-in -law. And when the dawning - of-the-day came -up, then the An- gels haftened Lot, Paying; Arife, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are found here ; left thou be confumed, in the iniquitie of the Citie. And he lingred , and the men laid -hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife,and on the hand of his two daughters, in the gentle - mercie of Jehovah upon him : and theybrought him forth,and fee him without the Cirie. And it was , when they had brought them forth abroad, that he Paid ; Efcape for thy foule, looke not behind thee,neither Bay thou in al the plain: efcape to the mountaine, left thou be confu- med. And Lot laid unto them: Oh notfa Lord. Behold now thy fervant hath found grace, in thine eies; and thou haft magnified thy mercie, which thou haft done with me, to fave-alive my foule:and I,I cannot efcape to the mountaine, left evill cleave unto me, and I die. Behold now,this Citie ra neere,to flee thither, and it ei a little one : oh let me efcape thither, is it not a little one e and my foule fhall live. And he Bid unto him, Loe I accept thy face, for this thing alto : that I will not overthrow the Cirie, for the which thou haft fpoken. Haft thee, efcape thither; for I cannot doe Any thing,till thou be come thither : therefore he called the name of the Citie, Zoar. The Sonne came -forth over the earth : and Lot entred into Zoar. And Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Go- morrha, brimftone and fire : from Jehovah, out of the heavens. And bee overthrew thefe Cities, and all the plaine : and all the inhabitants of the Cities, and that which grew on the ground. And his wife looked from behind him: and Thee was, a pillar of fair. And Abraham gar -up- early, in tlíemor- ping : unto the place, where he had Rood, before Jehovah. And bee looked toward. Sodom and Gomorrha ; and toward all the land of the plaine : and hee Paw, andloe the fmoke of the land went-up, as the fmoke of a furnace. And it was, when God deftroy - ed the Cities of the plain, that God remens- bred Abraham: and fent Lot out of the raids of the overthrow, when hee overthrew the Cities in the which Lot dwelt. And Lot went -up out of Zoar,and dwelt in the moun- raine, and his two daughters with him ; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave ; he and his two daughters. And the firft -borne Paid unto the yonger,our father is old and there is not a man in the land , to come in unto us , after the way of all the earth. Come, let us make our father drinke wine, and let us lye with him : ánd keepe- alive feed of our father.

And they made their father drinke wine , in that night alfo ; and the yonger arofe, and lay with him; and bee knewnot when thee lay downe, or when flice arofe.
