Genesis 19:16-25
16And while he lingeredH4102, the menH582 laid holdH2388 upon his handH3027, and upon the handH3027 of his wifeH802, and upon the handH3027 of his twoH8147 daughtersH1323; YhwhH3068 being mercifulH2551 unto him: and they brought him forthH3318, and set himH3240 withoutH2351 the cityH5892.
17And it came to pass, when they had brought them forthH3318 abroadH2351, that he saidH559, EscapeH4422 forH5921 thy lifeH5315; lookH5027 not behind theeH310, neither stayH5975 thou in all the plainH3603; escapeH4422 to the mountainH2022, lest thou be consumedH5595. 18And LotH3876 saidH559 unto them, Oh, not so, my LordH113: 19Behold now, thy servantH5650 hath foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, and thou hast magnifiedH1431 thy mercyH2617, which thou hast shewedH6213 unto meH5978 in savingH2421 my lifeH5315; and I cannotH3201 escapeH4422 to the mountainH2022, lest some evilH7451 takeH1692 me, and I dieH4191: 20Behold now, this cityH5892 is nearH7138 to fleeH5127 unto, and itH1931 is a little oneH4705: Oh, let me escapeH4422 thither, (is it not a little oneH4705?) and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421. 21And he saidH559 unto him, SeeH2009, I have acceptedH5375 theeH6440 concerning this thingH1697 also, that I will not overthrowH2015 this cityH5892, for the whichH834 thou hast spokenH1696.1 22HasteH4116 thee, escapeH4422 thither; for I cannotH3201 doH6213 any thingH1697 till thou be comeH935 thither. Therefore the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 was calledH7121 ZoarH6820.2
23The sunH8121 was risenH3318 upon the earthH776 when LotH3876 enteredH935 into ZoarH6820.3 24Then YhwhH3068 rainedH4305 upon SodomH5467 and upon GomorrahH6017 brimstoneH1614 and fireH784 from YhwhH3068 out of heavenH8064; 25And he overthrewH2015 thoseH411 citiesH5892, and all the plainH3603, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the citiesH5892, and that which grewH6780 upon the groundH127.
