And they did violently to Lot full greatly (And they did great violence to Lot). Then it was nigh that they would break (down) the doors;

¹⁰ and lo! the (two) men put (forth their) hand(s), and led in Lot to them (and brought Lot back in with them), and they closed the door.

¹¹ And they smote with blindness they that were withoutforth (And then they struck with blindness those who were outside), from the least till to the most; so that they might not find the door.
