Genesis 19:17-23

17And it came to pass when they had broughtH3318 them outside, that he saidH559, EscapeH4422 for thy lifeH5315: lookH5027 not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain: escapeH4422 to the mountainH2022, lestH6435 thou perish.

18And LotH3876 saidH559 to them, Not [so], I pray thee, LordH136;

19behold now, thy servantH5650 has foundH4672 favour in thine eyesH5869, and thou hast magnifiedH1431 thy goodness, which thou hast shewn to me in preserving my soulH5315 aliveH2421; but I cannot escapeH4422 to the mountainH2022, lestH6435 calamityH7451 lay holdH1692 on me, that I dieH4191.

20Behold now, this cityH5892 is near to fleeH5127 to, and it is smallH4705: I pray thee, let me escapeH4422 thither — is it not smallH4705? — and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421.

21And he saidH559 to him, Behold, I have accepted thee concerningH413 this thingH1697 alsoH1571, that I will not overthrowH2015 the cityH5892 of which thou hast spokenH1696.

22HasteH4116, escapeH4422 thither; for I cannot do anythingH1697 until thou art comeH935 there. ThereforeH3651 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 is calledH7121 ZoarH6820.

23The sunH8121 rose upon the earthH776 when LotH3876 cameH935 to ZoarH6820.
