Genesis 19:9 Context
7And said, I pray you, brethren, doe not so wickedly. 8Behold now, I haue two daughters, which haue not knowen man; let mee, I pray you, bring them out vnto you, and doe ye to them, as is good in your eyes: onely vnto these men do nothing: for therefore came they vnder the shadow of my roofe. 9And they said, Stand backe. And they said againe, This one fellow came in to soiourne, and he will needs bee a Iudge: Now wil we deale worse with thee, then with them. And they pressed sore vpon the man, euen Lot, and came neere to breake the doore. 10But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the doore. 11And they smote the men that were at the doore of the house, with blindnes, both small and great: so that they wearied themselues to finde the doore.
