Genesis 19:16-25

16But he hesitatedH4102. So the menH376 1graspedH2388 his handH3027 and the handH3027 of his wifeH802 and the 2handsH3027 of his twoH8147 daughtersH1323, because 3the compassionH2551 of the LordH3068 was upon him; and they broughtH3318 him outH3318 and putH5117 him outsideH4480H2351 the cityH5892. 17When they had broughtH3318 them outsideH2351, 4one saidH559, “5EscapeH4422 for your lifeH5315! 6Do not lookH5027 behindH310 you, and do not stayH5975 7anywhereH3605 in the 8surroundingH3603 areaH3603; escapeH4422 to 9the 10mountainsH2022, orH6435 you will be sweptH5595 awayH5595.” 18But LotH3876 saidH559 to them, “OhH4994 noH408, my lordsH136! 19NowH4994 beholdH2009, your servantH5650 has foundH4672 favorH2580 in your sightH5869, and you have magnifiedH1431 your compassionH2617, whichH834 you have shownH6213 me by savingH2421 my lifeH5315; but I cannotH3201H3808 escapeH4422 to the 11mountainsH2022, for the disasterH7463 will overtakeH1692 me and I will dieH4191; 20nowH4994 beholdH2009, thisH2088 townH5892 is nearH7138 enough to fleeH5127 to, and it is smallH4705. PleaseH4994, let me escapeH4422 thereH8033 (is it not smallH4705?) 12so that my lifeH5315 may be savedH2421.” 21And he saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009, I grantH5375 you thisH2088 13requestH1697 alsoH1571, not to overthrowH2015 the townH5892 of whichH834 you have spokenH1696. 22HurryH4116, escapeH4422 thereH8033, for I cannotH3201H3808 doH6213 anythingH1697 untilH5704 you arriveH935 thereH8033.” ThereforeH5921H3651 the townH5892 was namedH7121H8034 1415ZoarH6820.

23The sunH8121 had risenH3318 overH5921 the earthH776 when LotH3876 cameH935 to ZoarH6820. 24Then the LordH3068 16rainedH4305 brimstoneH1614 and fireH784 on SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 from the LordH3068 out of heavenH8064, 25and 17He overthrewH2015 thoseH411 citiesH5892, and allH3605 the surroundingH3603 areaH3603, and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the citiesH5892, and whatH6780 grewH6780 on the groundH127.
