Genesis 11:27

27: This is the history of Terah's family. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran had a son named Lot.

So Abram departed as the LORD had instructed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.

Terah took his son Abram, his daughter-in-law Sarai, and his grandson Lot (his son Haran's child) and left Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan. But they stopped instead at the village of Haran and settled there.

They also captured Lot--Abram's nephew who lived in Sodom--and took everything he owned.

But at the same time, God rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a good man who was sick of all the immorality and wickedness around him.

So they left Egypt and traveled north into the Negev--Abram with his wife and Lot and all that they owned,
for Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.
Then they continued traveling by stages toward Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where they had camped before.
This was the place where Abram had built the altar, and there he again worshiped the LORD.
Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, was also very wealthy with sheep, cattle, and many tents.

That evening the two angels came to the entrance of the city of Sodom, and Lot was sitting there as they arrived. When he saw them, he stood up to meet them. Then he welcomed them and bowed low to the ground.
"My lords," he said, "come to my home to wash your feet, and be my guests for the night. You may then get up in the morning as early as you like and be on your way again.Oh no," they said, "we'll just spend the night out here in the city square."
But Lot insisted, so at last they went home with him. He set a great feast before them, complete with fresh bread made without yeast. After the meal,
as they were preparing to retire for the night, all the men of Sodom, young and old, came from all over the city and surrounded the house.
They shouted to Lot, "Where are the men who came to spend the night with you? Bring them out so we can have sex with them."
