Genesis 19:20-23
20Look, this town over here is close enough to escape to, and it’s just a little one. Let me go there. It’s just a little place, isn’t it? Then I’ll survive.”
21“Very well,” he replied, “I will grant this request too and will not overthrow the town you mentioned.
22Run there quickly, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” (This incident explains why the town was called Zoar.)
23The sun had just risen over the land as Lot reached Zoar.
