10Now the valleyH6010 of SiddimH7708 was full of tarH2564 pitsH875; and 1the kingsH4428 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 fledH5127, and they fellH5307 2into them. But those who survivedH7604 fledH5127 to the 3hillH2022 countryH2022. 11Then they tookH3947 allH3605 the goodsH7399 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and allH3605 their foodH400 supplyH400, and departedH1980. 12They also tookH3947 LotH3876, 4Abram’sH87 nephewH1121H251, and his possessionsH7399 and departedH1980, 5for he was livingH3427 in SodomH5467.
