Genesis 19:13 in Context — Genesis 19

11 E aos homens que estavam à porta da casa desde o menor até o maior, feriram com cegueira; mas eles se cansavam tentando achar a porta.

12 E disseram os homens a Ló: Tens aqui alguém mais? Genros, e teus filhos e tuas filhas, e tudo o que tens na cidade, tira-o deste lugar:

13 Porque vamos destruir este lugar, porquanto o clamor deles subiu demais diante do SENHOR; portanto o SENHOR nos enviou para destruí-lo.

14 Então saiu Ló, e falou a seus genros, os que haviam de se casar com suas filhas, e lhes disse: Levantai-vos, saí deste lugar; porque o SENHOR vai destruir esta cidade. Mas pareceu a seus genros como que se ridicularizava.

15 E ao raiar a alva, os anjos davam pressa a Ló, dizendo: Levanta-te, toma tua mulher, e teus dois filhas que se acham aqui, para que não pereças no castigo da cidade.
