Changes

Lot is famous for living in [[Sodom]]. He was in the town square at the evening when the [[angels]] of the Lord came into town. Lot had to convince them to please come with him and stay in his house instead of the town square. At first they refused, but Lot was insistent. When all of the men of Sodom surrounded Lot's house and demanded that the strangers be given to them for sex; "Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may know them", Lot would not agree. He refused them, and offered his daughters to the [[Sodomites]]as replacement: "I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof" (Genesis 19:7-8), but they had no interest and prepared to break into his house. The angels struck all of the men of Sodom blind and then told Lot to leave; they were going to destroy Sodom. Come morning Lot was still hesitant to leave even after being warned that he would be destroyed in the punishment if he did not. The angels grasped the hands of Lot and his wife and two daughters and led them to the edge of the city. Lot was told to flee with his wife and daughters to the mountains, but he pleaded to be able to stop at a small town first as the trip to the mountains was long. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed once Lot reached the safety of the small town. Even though they were told not to look back at the destruction behind them, Lot's wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of [[salt]].
