Genesis 19:17-23

17And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when they had broughtH3318 them forthH3318 abroadH2351, that he saidH559, EscapeH4422 for thy lifeH5315; lookH5027 notH408 behindH310 thee, neitherH408 stayH5975 thou in allH3605 the PlainH3603; escapeH4422 to the mountainH2022, lestH6435 thou be consumed.

18And LotH3876 saidH559 unto them, OhH4994, notH408 soH408, my lordH136:

19beholdH2009 nowH4994, thy servantH5650 hath foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, and thou hast magnifiedH1431 thy mercy, whichH834 thou hast shewed unto meH4994 in saving my lifeH5315; and I cannotH3808 escapeH4422 to the mountainH2022, lestH6435 evilH7451 overtakeH4672 meH4994, and I dieH4191:

20beholdH2009 nowH4994, this cityH5892 is nearH7138 to fleeH5127 unto, and it is a littleH4705 one: OhH4994, letH4994 meH4994 escapeH4422 thither, (is it notH3808 a littleH4705 one?) and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421.

21And he saidH559 unto him, SeeH2009, I have accepted thee concerning this thingH1697 also, that I will notH1115 overthrowH2015 the cityH5892 of whichH834 thou hast spokenH1696.

22HasteH4116 thee, escapeH4422 thither; for I cannotH3808 doH6213 anyH3588 thingH1697 tillH5704 thou be comeH935 thither. Therefore the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 was calledH7121 ZoarH6820.

23The sunH8121 was risenH3318 uponH5921 the earthH776 when LotH3876 cameH935 unto ZoarH6820.
