Genesis 19:18-22
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
