Genesis 19:24-34

24 igitur Dominus pluit super Sodomam et Gomorram sulphur et ignem a Domino de caelo

25 et subvertit civitates has et omnem circa regionem universos habitatores urbium et cuncta terrae virentia

26 respiciensque uxor eius post se versa est in statuam salis

27 Abraham autem consurgens mane ubi steterat prius cum Domino

28 intuitus est Sodomam et Gomorram et universam terram regionis illius viditque ascendentem favillam de terra quasi fornacis fumum

29 cum enim subverteret Deus civitates regionis illius recordatus est Abrahae et liberavit Loth de subversione urbium in quibus habitaverat

30 ascenditque Loth de Segor et mansit in monte duae quoque filiae eius cum eo timuerat enim manere in Segor et mansit in spelunca ipse et duae filiae eius

31 dixitque maior ad minorem pater noster senex est et nullus virorum remansit in terra qui possit ingredi ad nos iuxta morem universae terrae

32 veni inebriemus eum vino dormiamusque cum eo ut servare possimus ex patre nostro semen

33 dederunt itaque patri suo bibere vinum nocte illa et ingressa est maior dormivitque cum patre at ille non sensit nec quando accubuit filia nec quando surrexit

34 altera quoque die dixit maior ad minorem ecce dormivi heri cum patre meo demus ei bibere vinum etiam hac nocte et dormies cum eo ut salvemus semen de patre nostro
