Genesis 19:1-3
The Doom of Sodom
1 It was evening when the two angels came to Sodom. Lot was sitting at Sodom’s [(a)city] gate. Seeing them, Lot got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground.
2 And he said, “See here, my lords, please turn aside and come into your servant’s house, and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may get up early and go on your way.” But they said, “No, we shall spend the night in the open plaza [of the city].”
3 However, Lot strongly urged them, so they turned aside and entered his house; and he prepared a feast for them [with wine], and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
