Genesis 19:19-30

19Behold now, thy servantH5650 hath foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, and thou hast magnifiedH1431 thy mercyH2617, which thou hast shownH6213 to meH5978 in savingH2421 my lifeH5315; and I cannotH3201 escapeH4422 to the mountainH2022, lest some evilH7451 should takeH1692 me, and I dieH4191: 20Behold now, this cityH5892 is nearH7138 to fleeH5127 to, and itH1931 is a small oneH4705: O, let me escapeH4422 there, (is it not a small oneH4705?) and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421. 21And he saidH559 to him, SeeH2009, I have acceptedH5375 theeH6440 concerning this thingH1697 also, that I will not overthrowH2015 this cityH5892, for whichH834 thou hast spokenH1696.1 22HasteH4116 thee, escapeH4422 there; for I cannotH3201 doH6213 any thingH1697 till thou hast comeH935 there. Therefore the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 was calledH7121 ZoarH6820.2 23The sunH8121 had risenH3318 upon the earthH776 when LotH3876 enteredH935 into ZoarH6820.3

24Then the LORDH3068 rainedH4305 upon SodomH5467 and upon GomorrahH6017 brimstoneH1614 and fireH784 from the LORDH3068 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.

26But his wifeH802 looked backH5027 from behind himH310, and she became a pillarH5333 of saltH4417.

27And AbrahamH85 rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 to the placeH4725 where he stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: 28And he lookedH8259 towardH6440 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and towardH6440 all the landH776 of the plainH3603, and beheldH7200, and, lo, the smokeH7008 of the countryH776 went upH5927 as the smokeH7008 of a furnaceH3536. 29And it came to pass, when GodH430 destroyedH7843 the citiesH5892 of the plainH3603, that GodH430 rememberedH2142 AbrahamH85, and sentH7971 LotH3876 out of the midstH8432 of the overthrowH2018, when he overthrewH2015 the citiesH5892 in whichH2004 LotH3876 dweltH3427.

30And LotH3876 went upH5927 from ZoarH6820, and dweltH3427 in the mountainH2022, and his twoH8147 daughtersH1323 with him; for he fearedH3372 to dwellH3427 in ZoarH6820: and he dweltH3427 in a caveH4631, he and his twoH8147 daughtersH1323.
