Genesis 19:18-22

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
