창세기 19:12의 미드라쉬

And the sons of El-him saw (Genesis 6:2) - Rabi Shimeon ben Yochai called them judges. Rabi Shimeon ben Yochai curses everyone who would call them 'sons of divine beings'. Rabi Shimeon ben Yochai taught that any licentiousness that did not come from powerful people is not licentiousness. When priests steal [their] gods, is it possible to make oaths or offer sacrifices?! And why does the text call them 'sons of divine beings'? Both Rabbi Chanina and Rabbi Shimeon Ben Lakish say that [these beings'] lived to ripe old age with no difficulties or punishments. Rabbi Chana in the name of Rabbi Yosi said that this was so that seasons and [astronomical] calculations should be well established. The rabbis say that this was so that [these beings] would receive their punishments and also the punishments of the generations that would come after them. 'Because they were beautiful'. Rabbi Yudan says: 'it is written 'good', and this means that when a woman was made good for a husband, the powerful one [of the place] would take her and have relations with her first. See, 'good' here means that these were virgins; 'they took wives from those who pleased them' (Gen. 6:2) means even wives already married to other men. 'from those who pleased them' also men and animals. Rabbi Huna says, in the name of Rabbi [Yehuda Hanasi] that the generation of the flood was only wiped out once they wrote marriage contracts between humans and animals. Rabbi Simlai says that any place in which sexual perversions are found, pestilence comes to the world, killing both the good [people] and the bad. Rabi Azaria and Rabi Yehuda bar Rabi Simon in the name of Rabi Yehishua ben Levi said: The Holy One of Blessing is patient with everything but with sexual perversion. What is the reason for this [opinion]? It is written 'and the sons of El-him saw' and after 'And Ad-nai said I will blot out' (Genesis 6:7). Rabbi Yehoshua Bar Levin says, in the name of Pedayah, all through the night Lot was asking forgiveness for the people of Sdom, and his entreaties were received, up to the moment that they said 'bring those men out so we can know them' (Genesis 19:5), 'know' as in sex, and they said to him 'who do you have else?' (Genesis 19:12) - who else could say anything in their defense?! From here onward there was no one who could say anything in their defense.
