Genesis 19:12-23

12Then the two menH582 saidH559 toH413 LotH3876, “DoH4310 you have anyone elseH5750 hereH6311—a son-in-lawH2860, your sonsH1121 or daughtersH1323, or anyoneH3605 else in the cityH5892 who belongsH834 to you? Get them outH3318 ofH4480 hereH4725, 13becauseH3588 weH587 are about to destroyH7843 thisH2088 placeH4725. ForH3588 the outcryH6818 toH854H6440 the LORDH3068 against its people is so greatH1431 thatH3068 He has sent usH7971 to destroy itH7843.”

14So LotH3876 went outH3318 and spokeH1696 toH413 the sons-in-lawH2860 who were pledged in marriage toH3947 his daughtersH1323. “Get upH6965,” he saidH559. “Get outH3318 ofH4480 thisH2088 placeH4725, forH3588 the LORDH3068 is about to destroyH7843 the cityH5892!” But his sons-in-lawH2860 thoughtH5869 he wasH1961 jokingH6711.

15AtH3644 daybreakH7837H5927 the angelsH4397 hurriedH213 Lot alongH3876, sayingH559, “Get upH6965! TakeH3947 your wifeH802 and your twoH8147 daughtersH1323 who are hereH4672, orH6435 you will be swept awayH5595 in the punishmentH5771 of the cityH5892.” 16But when Lot hesitatedH4102, the menH582 grabbedH2388 his handH3027 and the handsH3027 of his wifeH802 andH3027 his twoH8147 daughtersH1323. And they led themH3318 safelyH5117 out ofH2351 the cityH5892, because of the LORD’sH3068 compassionH2551 for themH5921.

17

As soon as the men had broughtH3318 themH853 outH2351, one of them saidH559, “RunH4422 forH5921 your livesH5315! Do notH408 lookH5027 backH310, and do notH408 stopH5975 anywhereH3605 on the plainH3603! FleeH4422 to the mountainsH2022, orH6435 you will be swept awayH5595!”

18But LotH3876 repliedH559H413, “NoH408, my lordsH136, pleaseH4994! 19Your servantH5650 has indeedH2009H4994 foundH4672 favorH2580 in your sightH5869, and you have shown meH6213H5978 greatH1431 kindnessH2617 by sparingH2421 my lifeH5315. But IH595 cannotH3808H3201 runH4422 to the mountainsH2022H6435; the disasterH7451 will overtake meH1692, and I will dieH4191. 20LookH2009, thereH2063 is a townH5892 nearbyH7138 whereH8033 I can fleeH5127, and itH1931 is a small placeH4705. PleaseH4994 let me fleeH4422H4994 thereH8033—is itH1931 notH3808 a small placeH4705? Then my lifeH5315 will be savedH2421.”

21“Very wellH2009,” he answeredH559H413, “I will grant this requestH5375H6440H2088H1697 as wellH1571, and will notH1115 demolishH2015 the townH5892 you indicateH1696. 22HurryH4116! RunH4422 there quicklyH8033, forH3588 I cannotH3808H3201 doH6213 anythingH1697 untilH5704 you reachH935 itH8033.” That is whyH5921H3651 the townH5892 was calledH7121H8034 ZoarH6820.1

23And by the time the sunH8121 had risenH3318 overH5921 the landH776, LotH3876 had reachedH935 ZoarH6820.
