Genesis 19:13 in Context — Genesis 19
11 Et ils frappèrent d’aveuglement les gens qui étaient à l’entrée de la maison, depuis le plus petit jusqu’au plus grand, de sorte qu’ils se donnèrent une peine inutile pour trouver la porte.
12 Les hommes dirent à Lot: Qui as-tu encore ici? Gendres, fils et filles, et tout ce qui t’appartient dans la ville, fais-les sortir de ce lieu.
13 Car nous allons détruire ce lieu, parce que le cri contre ses habitants est grand devant l’Éternel. L’Éternel nous a envoyés pour le détruire.
14 Lot sortit, et parla à ses gendres qui avaient pris ses filles: Levez-vous, dit-il, sortez de ce lieu; car l’Éternel va détruire la ville. Mais, aux yeux de ses gendres, il parut plaisanter.
15 Dès l’aube du jour, les anges insistèrent auprès de Lot, en disant: Lève-toi, prends ta femme et tes deux filles qui se trouvent ici, de peur que tu ne périsses dans la ruine de la ville.
