They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them.”

See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”

They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.

They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.

God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow you to touch her.

Now therefore, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”

Abimelech said, “I don’t know who has done this thing. You didn’t tell me, and I didn’t hear of it until today.”

He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”

He said to them, “Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?” They said, “We know him.”

Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.”

Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.

You know that I have served your father with all of my strength.

Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.

Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you.

They didn’t know that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.

The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your houses, and go your way.

Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you shall trade in the land.’ ”
