Genesis 19:16-17

16But he hesitated. So the men 1grasped his hand and the hand of his wife and the 2hands of his two daughters, because 3the compassion of the Lord was upon him; and they brought him out and put him outside the city.

17When they had brought them outside, 4one said, “5Escape for your life! 6Do not look behind you, and do not stay 7anywhere in the 8surrounding area; escape to 9the 10mountains, or you will be swept away.”
