Genesis 19:1-11
That evening the two angels came to the entrance of the city of S***m. Lot was sitting there, and when he
saw them, he stood up to meet them. Then he welcomed them and bowed with his face to the ground.
"My lords," he said, "come to my home to wash your feet, and be my guests for the night. You may then
get up early in the morning and be on your way again." "Oh no," they replied. "We'll just spend the night
out here in the city square." But Lot insisted, so at last they went home with him. Lot prepared a feast for
them, complete with fresh bread made without yeast, and they ate. But before they retired for the night, all
the men of S***m, young and old, came from all over the city and surrounded the house. They shouted to
Lot, "Where are the men who came to spend the night with you? Bring them out to us so we can have s*x
with them!"
So Lot stepped outside to talk to them, shutting the door behind him. "Please, my brothers," he begged,
"don't do such a wicked thing. Look, I have two virgin daughters. Let me bring them out to you, and you
can do with them as you wish. But please, leave these men alone, for they are my guests and are under my
protection."
"Stand back!" they shouted. "This fellow came to town as an outsider, and now he's acting like our judge!
We'll treat you far worse than those other men!" And they lunged toward Lot to break down the door. But
the two angels reached out, pulled Lot into the house, and bolted the door. Then they blinded all the men,
young and old, who were at the door of the house, so they gave up trying to get inside.
Leviticus 18:22
"Do not practice homos*xuality, having s*x with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin."
(NLT)
Leviticus 20:13
"If a man practices homos*xuality, having s*x with another man as with a woman, both men have
committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense."
(NLT)
Judges 19:16-24
That evening an old man came home from his work in the fields. He was from the hill country of
Ephraim, but he was living in Gibeah, where the people were from the tribe of Benjamin. When he saw
the travelers sitting in the town square, he asked them where they were from and where they were going.
