So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father. He did not know when she lay down or when she arose.The next day, the firstborn said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father."So they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father.The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.

But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them and shut the door.And they struck with blindness the men who were at the entrance of the house, both small and great, so that they wore themselves out groping for the door.Then the men said to Lot, "Have you anyone else here? Sons-in-law, sons, daughters, or anyone you have in the city, bring them out of the place.For we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it."So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, "Up! Get out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city." But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting.As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city."But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.And as they brought them out, one said, "Escape for your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away."And Lot said to them, "Oh, no, my lords.Behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die.Behold, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one. Let me escape there—is it not a little one?—and my life will be saved!"He said to him, "Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.Escape there quickly, for I can do nothing till you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven.And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord.And he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the valley, and he looked and, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived.Now Lot went up out of Zoar and lived in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave with his two daughters.And the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth.Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father."But they said, "Stand back!" And they said, "This fellow came to sojourn, and he has become the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them." Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door down.

The angel of the Lord also said to her, "I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude."And the angel of the Lord said to her, "Behold, you are pregnant and shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has listened to your affliction. He shall be a wild donkey of a man, his hand against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen." So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, "You are a God of seeing," for she said, "Truly here I have seen him who looks after me."Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it lies between Kadesh and Bered.And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress.And Sarai said to Abram, "May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my servant to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the Lord judge between you and me!"But Abram said to Sarai, "Behold, your servant is in your power; do to her as you please." Then Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her.The angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur.And he said, "Hagar, servant of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?" She said, "I am fleeing from my mistress Sarai."The angel of the Lord said to her, "Return to your mistress and submit to her."

And he brought him all these, cut them in half, and laid each half over against the other. But he did not cut the birds in half.And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. And behold, dreadful and great darkness fell upon him.Then the Lord said to Abram, "Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years.

Now the Valley of Siddim was full of bitumen pits, and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some fell into them, and the rest fled to the hill country.So the enemy took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way.They also took Lot, the son of Abram's brother, who was dwelling in Sodom, and his possessions, and went their way.Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and of Aner. These were allies of Abram.When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, 318 of them, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.And he divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and defeated them and pursued them to Hobah, north of Damascus.Then he brought back all the possessions, and also brought back his kinsman Lot with his possessions, and the women and the people.After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.)And he blessed him and said, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!" And Abram gave him a tenth of everything. And the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the persons, but take the goods for yourself."But Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted my hand to the Lord, God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth,that I would not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.'I will take nothing but what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me. Let Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre take their share." And all these joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,and the Horites in their hill country of Seir as far as El-paran on the border of the wilderness.Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh) and defeated all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who were dwelling in Hazazon-tamar.Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) went out, and they joined battle in the Valley of Siddimwith Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goiim, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, four kings against five.

And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other.Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom.Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the Lord.The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted.Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you."So Abram moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord.
