創世記第19章
1那兩個天使晚上到了所多瑪;羅得正坐在所多瑪城門口,看見他們,就起來迎接,臉伏於地下拜,
2說:「我主啊,請你們到僕人家裡洗洗腳,住一夜,清早起來再走。」他們說:「不!我們要在街上過夜。」
3羅得切切地請他們,他們這才進去,到他屋裡。羅得為他們預備筵席,烤無酵餅,他們就吃了。

4他們還沒有躺下,所多瑪城裡各處的人,連老帶少,都來圍住那房子,
5呼叫羅得說:「今日晚上到你這裡來的人在哪裡呢?把他們帶出來,任我們所為。」
6羅得出來,把門關上,到眾人那裡,
7說:「眾弟兄,請你們不要做這惡事。
8我有兩個女兒,還是處女,容我領出來,任憑你們的心願而行;只是這兩個人既然到我舍下,不要向他們做甚麼。」
9眾人說:「退去吧!」又說:「這個人來寄居,還想要作官哪!現在我們要害你比害他們更甚。」眾人就向前擁擠羅得,要攻破房門。
10只是那二人伸出手來,將羅得拉進屋去,把門關上,

12二人對羅得說:「你這裡還有甚麼人嗎?無論是女婿是兒女,和這城中一切屬你的人,你都要將他們從這地方帶出去。
13我們要毀滅這地方;因為城內罪惡的聲音在耶和華面前甚大,耶和華差我們來,要毀滅這地方。」
14羅得就出去,告訴娶了(或譯:將要娶)他女兒的女婿們說:「你們起來離開這地方,因為耶和華要毀滅這城。」他女婿們卻以為他說的是戲言。
15天明了,天使催逼羅得說:「起來!帶著你的妻子和你在這裡的兩個女兒出去,免得你因這城裡的罪惡同被剿滅。」
16但羅得遲延不走。二人因為耶和華憐恤羅得,就拉著他的手和他妻子的手,並他兩個女兒的手,把他們領出來,安置在城外;

18羅得對他們說:「我主啊,不要如此!
19你僕人已經在你眼前蒙恩;你又向我顯出莫大的慈愛,救我的性命。我不能逃到山上去,恐怕這災禍臨到我,我便死了。
20看哪,這座城又小又近,容易逃到,這不是一個小的嗎?求你容我逃到那裡,我的性命就得存活。」
21天使對他說:「這事我也應允你;我不傾覆你所說的這城。
22你要速速地逃到那城;因為你還沒有到那裡,我不能做甚麼。」因此那城名叫瑣珥(就是小的意思)。

23羅得到了瑣珥,日頭已經出來了。
24當時,耶和華將硫磺與火從天上耶和華那裡降與所多瑪和蛾摩拉,
25把那些城和全平原,並城裡所有的居民,連地上生長的,都毀滅了。

27亞伯拉罕清早起來,到了他從前站在耶和華面前的地方,
28向所多瑪和蛾摩拉與平原的全地觀看,不料,那地方煙氣上騰,如同燒窯一般。

29當 神毀滅平原諸城的時候,他記念亞伯拉罕,正在傾覆羅得所住之城的時候,就打發羅得從傾覆之中出來。
30羅得因為怕住在瑣珥,就同他兩個女兒從瑣珥上去,住在山裡;他和兩個女兒住在一個洞裡。
31大女兒對小女兒說:「我們的父親老了,地上又無人按著世上的常規進到我們這裡。
32來!我們可以叫父親喝酒,與他同寢。這樣,我們好從他存留後裔。」
33於是,那夜她們叫父親喝酒,大女兒就進去和她父親同寢;她幾時躺下,幾時起來,父親都不知道。

34第二天,大女兒對小女兒說:「我昨夜與父親同寢。今夜我們再叫他喝酒,你可以進去與他同寢。這樣,我們好從父親存留後裔。」
