| GENESIS 19 | GENESIS 19 |
| 1 At the final stages of Sodom, two men came there to bring Lot into concord with thoughts representative of the Lord, when Lot was stationed at the portal of carnal excesses. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, giving them reverence and obeisance, while facing the underlying facts. | And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; |
| 2 He declared, "Behold now, my masters, please dwell with your servant, and remain during all his darkness, and then refresh yourselves, for early you will rise up to continue in your way." But they replied, "Nay, we will abide outside of your hopeless dwelling during its gloom." | And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.. |
| 3 Now he persisted upon them greatly, so they turned in with him, penetrating his carnal thinking; and he gave them a feast of Soul, and did reason with the sincerity of Truth, and they did partake thereof. | And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. |
| 4 Yet before they were reposed, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed their pure state of mind, both old and young, all the people from every quarter or type of sensual thinking. | But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: |
| 5 They called to Lot, demanding of him, "Where are the men which came in to you this night? Bring them out for us so that we may carnally know them." | And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. |
| 6 Then Lot went out to meet them, but his mind was shut against them. | And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, |
| 7 And he said, "Please, brethren, do not be so wicked. | And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. |
| 8 "Look now, I have two virgin daughters; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them as is good in your sight. Only to these men do nothing, for they came under the protection of my roof." | 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. |
| 9 At which they said, "Stand back," and they came again, saying, "This foreigner came in to sojourn, and he now wants to be our judge; now will we deal worse with him than with them." And they brought pressure on Lot, nearly breaking his resistence. | And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. |
| 10 But the Lord's masters put forth their power and brought Lot into the presence of divine Mind with them, and shut the carnal mind out. | But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. |
| 11 Now they smote the carnal beliefs that were at the threshold of thought with blindness, both small and great beliefs, so that they wearied themselves to find the entrance into conscious awareness with them. | And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. |
| 12 Then the masters of the Lord said to Lot, "Have you here any besides? Son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whatever you have embraced in divine consciousness, bring them out of this kind of thinking. | And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: |
| 13 "For we will behold the destruction of the carnal mind because the cry of those beliefs is ripe for elimination before the appearance of divine Mind; and divine Mind has sent us to practice healing here." | For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. |
| 14 Then Lot went out, and spake with his sons-in-law, which married his daughters, saying, "Go up and get out of this carnality, for the divine Mind is the destruction of this state of thought." But he seemed as one that mocked to his sons-in-law. | And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. |
| 15 As enlightenment dawned, then God's thoughts quickened Lot, revealing, "Arise, take your wife, and your two daughters which are here, lest they be consumed in the iniquity of the carnal mind." | And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. |
| 16 But while he lingered, the masters of the Lord laid hold to supercede his carnal belief, and the belief of his wife, and the beliefs of his two daughters, as the Lord was merciful to him. And they brought him forth, thrusting him outside of the beliefs of the flesh. | And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. |
| 17 It came to pass, when they had brought them out, that the master said, "Escape for your life; look not back at mortal claims, neither remain in any of its beliefs; escape to the higher states of consciousness, lest you will be consumed." | And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. |
| 18 But Lot declared, "Oh, not so, my master." | And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my LORD: |
| 19 "Now behold, your servant has found grace in your sight, and you have magnified your mercy which you have shown me by saving my life, but I cannot escape completely to the higher states of thought^, lest some evil overtake me, and I die. | Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: |
| 20 "Now, here is a place to dwell that is nearer to flee to, and it is only slightly^ carnal in belief. Oh, let me escape thither, (how can I achieve the spiritual ultimate in one step^?) and my senses will survive." | Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. |
| 21 So the master replied, "See the Principle of Being has accepted you concerning this compromise also, that this mentality will not yet be completely overthrown for your sake and for which you have spoken. | And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. |
| 22 "But you must hasten and you must escape to the other side, for nothing can be done until you reverse the testimony of the carnal senses; therefore the nature of the city was called Zoar^." | Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. |
| 23 Enlightenment had risen in the whole sphere of consciousness when Lot entered into Zoar. | The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. |
| 24 Then Principle brought upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah burning Truth and purification from the harmony of Mind. | Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; |
| 25 And those beliefs were overthrown, with all the inhabitants of those beliefs, and that which grew out of material thinking. | And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. |
| 26 But his wife looked longingly back at carnality from a state of thought below and behind his, and she became a pillar of sensuous beliefs. | But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. |
| 27 Abraham arose early in the enlightenment of the place he held before the presence of divine Life; | And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD: |
| 28 And he looked toward sensuous Sodom and ruinous Gomorrah, and toward all that state of mentality, and beheld the pollution^ of that kind of thinking which became nothingness as the impurities passed away through the chemicalization of Truth. | And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. |
| 29 So when divine Mind eliminated the carnal beliefs of the human mind, God was gracious to Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the carnal beliefs in which Lot had dwelt. | And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. |
| 30 And Lot rose higher out of the slight mortal beliefs of Zoar, and dwelt in the higher revelations of Mind with his two daughters, for he feared to dwell in Zoar, and he was sheltered where he dwelt with his two daughters. | And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. |
| 31 Then the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man anywhere to bring us propagation after the manner of all the earth; | And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: |
| 32 "Come, let us mesmerize our father with wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring of our father." | Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. |
| 33 So they mesmerized their father with wine that night, and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father, and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she left. | And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. |
| 34 Then it came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us also mesmerize him with wine this night, and you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring of our father." | And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. |
| 35 And they also mesmerized their father with wine that night, and the younger arose, and lay with him, but he knew not when she lay down, nor when she left. | And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. |
| 36 Thus both the daughters of Lot were to have a child by their father. | Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. |
| 37 And the firstborn produced a son, and called his name Moab^. The same is the father of the Moabites until this day. | And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. |
| 38 And the younger also produced a son, and called his name Benammi^; the same is the father of the children of Ammon until this day. | And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day. |
