Genesis 19:17-29

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.

24And Jehovah rainedH4305 on SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 brimstone and fireH784 from Jehovah out of heavenH8064,

25and overthrewH2015 those citiesH5892, and all the plain, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the citiesH5892, and what grew upon the groundH127.

26And his wifeH802 lookedH5027 back from behind him, and she becameH1961 a pillar of saltH4417.

27And AbrahamH85 roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 [and went] to the placeH4725 whereH834 he had stoodH5975 before Jehovah;

28and he lookedH7200 toward SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and toward all the landH776 of the plain, and beheld, and lo, a smokeH7008 wentH5927 up from the landH776 as the smokeH7008 of a furnaceH3536.

29And it came to pass when 1GodH430 destroyedH7843 the citiesH5892 of the plain, that 2GodH430 rememberedH2142 AbrahamH85, and sentH7971 LotH3876 out of the midstH8432 of the overthrowH2015, when he overthrewH2015 the citiesH5892 in which LotH3876 dweltH3427.
