Genesis 19

Genesis 19 records the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Two angels enter Sodom, Lot receives them, and the men of the city surround the house with violent sexual intent. The angels strike the attackers with blindness and urgently lead Lot, his wife, and two daughters out. Fire and brimstone destroy the cities; Lot’s wife looks back and becomes a pillar of salt. The chapter ends with Lot’s daughters intoxicating their father and conceiving Moab and Ben-ammi.
